As for a new batch, I forgot to mention that I also think the water content they list is too much too. Too much water, and it doesn't get cooked off, so you have to cook it more so it's not watery, then ends up overcooked.

I've been using less water, like 1 cup quinoa to 3/4 cup water or broth. I think most recipes I've seen is about 1:1 ratio.
I sometimes end up straining the extra water off. Especially true if I'm cooking the red quinoa for some reason.
