Is it fine enough to strain quinoa?

I just tried it using dry quinoa (no water). Shaking it vigorously over a bowl, no grains slipped through. A few of the teeny tiny black husks did go though. (I have multi color quinoa.) It's possible that adding the force of water and swishing it all around, a few might slip through, but I doubt it.

I used it for straining kefir grains but I'd want a large one to strain cooked quinoa because the mesh is so fine that of soft quinoa may plug the holes. A small one would take forever to drain.

The mesh is like a window screen. Since I am not familiar with quinoa you must be the judge.

I am sorry, but I am personally not familiar with QUINOA. I can't speculate about the size of the actual grains and how the mesh would treat them.

Yes, bought it for that reason. Also use it frequently to rinse quinoa. None of the quinoa slips through!

I just tried it and uncooked quinoa grains will not fall through this strainer.

Actually, this why I bought it, to rinse my quinoa. So just to confirm the mesh is fine enough that it will not fall through.

Rice will definitely work, I haven't tried it with quinoa yet, but I believe it will. I'll have to do an ultra-scientific experiment when I get home from work, and then I'll get back to you with an answer.

Yes. It works very well. I especially use it to strain blended fruits or vegetables.

I've never made quinoa, but yes, the mesh is very fine. I strain the pulp from lemons and it works great for those leaving just pure juice.

I tried it with dry quinoa and none of it fell thru, so it should be fine wet or dry.

You don't strain quinoa. If there is excess water, you used too much water.

Holes are not small enough to side drain Quinoa. May be able to drain from bottom

Haven't used it for quinoa yet. Haven't noticed other food getting stuck in the edge though.

I can't imagine the mesh is fine enough to strain coffee. It is designed for tea and some spices.

I don't have one but several reviewers report that it won't work for quinoa.

I just tried it with dry quinoa, and the holes were too big. The quinoa fell through.

it's fairly fine-mesh -- we use it to strain broth. However, we're not too picky about having the broth turn out clear -- if you care about that, you'll probably need a second round with cheesecloth. Overall, a nice, strong strainer, though!
