Place quinoa in a bowl and rinse under running water for at least 1 minute. This is required to remove the bitter taste.
Combine quinoa, water and salt in a saucepan or skillet and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, while covered.
Fluff with a fork and use immediately or cool to store.
