The Herbeevore
An easy fool-proof method for fluffy perfect quinoa in the Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot! Quick cook, no mess, and perfect texture every time.  This is my absolute favorite way to cook quinoa, as it takes the shortest amount of time, is super easy to clean up, and the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
