How to Check Quinoa (Star-K)
Place quinoa (no more than 16oz at a time) in a strainer with holes small enough that it won’t fall through, ideally #15-25 size mesh.
Shake the quinoa over a white paper or lightbox for approx. 25-30 seconds
Check the surface of the paper or lightbox for insects. If any insects are found, the quinoa should not be used.
