Well, it doesn't taste like chicken :-). It's a little crunchy and
slightly nutty. I make 1/4 cup for two people. I use vegetable broth as
the liquid (2 parts liquid to one part quinoa) and I put a pat of butter
in the pot. There are 24 g. of carbs in 14 cup dry quinoa. That's 12g.
per person.
Don't forget my DH has a pump and can bolus for the amount of carbs he
is eating.
With the tomatoes in the vegetable medley, he bolused for 30g. of carbs,
which was very conservative as I think the meal was less.
