So, I'm assuming that if you buy it in bulk from a health food store, it should probably be rinsed first to get rid of any bitter-tasting residue that it might have on it. Hope that helps!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238065316512454176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-84768626246002787762011-04-29T00:53:49.745-04:002011-04-29T00:53:49.745-04:00That's what I was going to ask too.....I'v...That's what I was going to ask too.....I've heard about it being bitter.

I love to cook it with chicken broth and carmelized veggies. Yum!ejemoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629937210267445560noreply@blogger.com
