Will Quinoa fall through, or is the mesh fine enough that it will not?

No, quinoa will not fall through any of these strainers. I bought mine because my daughter likes to strain spaghetti sauce, Italian dressing, etc, and they work fine, so no way quinoa will slip through.

Works just fine for me. I also use it for my juices, I hate pulp and it works perfectly.

Quinoa is just fine for this strainer. I use it for rinsing my quinoa often.

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.

They will contain quinoa. The strainers are pretty small though. I'm considering buying a larger strainer of the same type.

Sorry, I can't be of help. All I know is that the 6-3/4" strainer is double mesh. It is very fine. As the other responder mentioned, Quinoia will absolutely will not pass through the strainer.

I purchase this item specifically to rinse quinoa. It works pretty good. A few grains remain or get stuck, but it's more because of the moisture from being rinsed. Don't know of anything much smaller than quinoa. I'd purchase again.

The mesh is pretty much your standard mesh. We used it once and had it stuffed pretty full. We didn't have any problems.

The weed barrier is permeable, so water will pass route without any problems. Strictly speaking I don't think it matters to your vegetable garden whether your poly tubes are under or over the barrier. However, for future access to the watering system you may want to put it on top as having to remove the layer in order to work on your system may be a pain.

It is very fine mesh...so I think you could be all right with it so long as the coffee you are brewing isn't powder fine! I hope you enjoy this!!!

If it's tiny couscous, it would just fall through the holes. It's sturdy enough, however, if that's what you're asking.

The mesh on this is fairly large. Any small seed or Niger will fall through. It's very attractive, but not the most functional.

This is an extremely fine mesh. It is much like a coffee filter. I imagine that the grounds would be incapable of passing through as small grain cheese does not fall through. What a perfect way to reduce our impact on mama earth! I think I might sew a few filters for my husband.

It does work with quinoa - none of the quinoa goes through. However, some of the quinoa tends to get stuck in-between the layers of mesh. To get the stuck quinoa out, I let it dry and then lightly tapped the strainer until the grains popped out.

Thank you for the reply, but I was referring more to the mesh itself if it is fine enough to keep very tiny bugs out.

Sorry, never tried Quinoa spaghetti in this cooker. Why not try just a little amount, see if they stick together.

Definitely not; I use it for both rice and quinoa without any difficulty. However, one of the handles came off of mine soon after I got it. I didn't return it because I still needed it and didn't want to wait for an exchange. Otherwise, it has proven durable enough but not of highest quality manufacture.

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

I have not rinsed quinoa in this, only rice. But, I believe the mesh is fine enough to be used for quinoa.

The mesh is tiny and the material is very sturdy. Will it hold rice or quinoa? Absolutely! I love mine and think you will love it too.

The mesh is extra fine so I don't think you will have any issues with lemon grass escaping in the tea. I have not had any issues with bits floating from seeping through the mesh yet and I have tried a few different teas since getting this.
