"Make whole grains the center of your dinner plate with this citrus-studded quinoa pilaf recipe topped with sweet seared sea scallops. Be sure to buy â??dryâ? sea scallops (scallops that have not been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops treated with STP (â??wetâ? scallops) are higher in sodium, have a mushy texture and do not brown properly...."
