Tipps

Prepare Quinoa Properly

Always rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove any residual saponins (a natural bitter coating) that might be present. This will ensure your porridge has a clean, nutty flavor.

Mind the Sweetness

Remember, the ripe fresh blueberries and honey will add natural sweetness to the dish. Be attentive when adding honey, so the porridge doesn't get too sweet.

Variety of Toppings

Apart from blueberries, you can experiment with other low-histamine fruits like fresh peaches or apricots. Just make sure they are fresh and not canned or preserved.

Serve Immediately

For the best taste and texture, serve the quinoa porridge immediately after cooking.
