Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 No, quinoa has it's own taste. I like to rinse it and then roast it in a hot dry skillet before I cook it. It adds a nutty flavor. Bulghur a dry texture. Whole Foods sells it in bulk, buying the boxed quinoa is expensive so you will save. Donna --- puterwitch wrote: > does quinoa taste anything like bulghur wheat?
