Does anyone have any tips for dehydrating quinoa at home? When I tried to rehydrate some of my home-dehydrated quinoa last night it was still crunchy 20 minutes later (and cold). I prepared it the same way I do rice or pasta: Cook until done, spread on the fruit roll sheets, and dehydrate at 135 degrees until dry.
I only rehydrated a small amount so maybe the water cooled off too quickly and I need to try a full portion (and incorporate it into tonight's dinner)?

After you dried it, did you break up the clumps? I've found no issues with it coming back myself. Also when you went to rehydrate it, make sure you insulate it - so it doesn't cool off too fast.

There aren't any clumps. It was quite easy to dehydrate because it didn't stick/clump together nearly as much as rice or pasta. Sounds like it just cooled off too fast. I'll try again with more hot water and a cozy. I didn't use a cozy since my kitchen is much warmer than a typical campsite, but maybe I need to wait until the fog rolls in at night and stick it outside in a cozy.
