Both are delicious! We like to wash the beets, roll them (still damp) in salt so some of it clings to the skin and bake them... the salt penetrates the peel and makes them yummy. Quinoa is on the list for this year!!! We do Amaranth every year - it is gorgeous and we expect the Quinoa to be of a similar beautiful ilk.
