Hi Ali, I've bought it in Holland and Barretts as I have to be careful which brands I buy and I've also got some black quinoa which's in fact very dark red, I prefer the white as I think its got a smoother taste but like the flavour and texture of the red with things like burgers.

You think I've a monopoly...

I've also bought them in whole food shops but usually buy the white and have my favourite brand. 😀

Oh so there are a rainbow of colours. I need to diverse. Maybe I will pop into Holland and Barrett’s as don’t usually go there.

Thank you for the info Jerry 👍

Hi and yes I did as they absorb moisture from the mix swell up and help to bind it.

As you also like crumbles I add chia seeds to the apple and you can add them to the topping, I also add sesame seeds to the topping. 😊

I have obviously been under utilising chia seeds, I usually just put them in my shakes and smoothies. Crumble it is, definitely

It thickens the fruit so its more of a compote...😊

makes sense as that is what they do in my smoothies, makes them filling. Good idea for compote too (whether or not under a lovely crumble

I think I remember my brother making chia jam at one time

Hi there, I imagine lentil flour tastes good and what I do is use a coffee grinder and I grind quinoa into a flour and because its a bit coarser than flour it absorbs more moisture and is better for gluten free baking as I'm a coeliac and not diabetic.

I'm going to grind some lentils now and try them in a recipe so a great idea thank you.

Jerry 😊

I have bought a bag of cous cous which I am going to try and mix with avocado, olives tomatoes - my old blender has broken so will try to find one - will have a go at the lentils then.

Thanks Rebie I make things to the right consistency so this is how I made them:

I made these by boiling some red quinoa and red lentils then mixing them with pumpkin seeds sesame seeds chia seeds garlic with gluten free bread crumbs gram flour and a little water to bind. Gram flour is great at binding so you don't needs eggs so this is gluten free and plant based.

I hope this helps, 😊
