Can you eat quinoa uncooked right from the bag?

Here's why:

* Digestion: Quinoa contains phytic acid, which can interfere with nutrient absorption and make it difficult to digest. Cooking breaks down the phytic acid, making quinoa easier to digest.

* Taste: Uncooked quinoa is bitter and hard, making it unpleasant to eat.

* Safety: Uncooked quinoa can contain harmful bacteria that can make you sick.

Always cook quinoa before eating it. You can find simple and delicious recipes online!
