translate English to German: The first step in preparing quinoa is to remove the saponins, a process that requires soaking the grain in water for a few hours, then changing the water and resoaking for a further period of time, or rinsing it in ample running water either in a fine strainer or in cheesecloth. However, boxed quinoa typically has been pre-rinsed for convenience.
Laut FAO wurden 2004 weltweit etwa 51.000 t Quinoa geerntet.
