Quinoa is lovely, wonderful, new, exotic and gentle, and very nutritious.
Wow, I'm a real fan of brown rice and I never eat white rice. I bodybuilder, practice yoga and long distance bicycle ride so nutrition at my age, 53, it's very, very important. We know quinoa has got brown rice beat on the nutrition scale, (and brown rice is still good for you, of course), but most importantly quinoa is delightful to eat. It has a very gentle nutty, earthy flavor with hints of a rice like flavor as well but unique to quinoa itself, again, a very gentle flavor with a very subtle, zingy aftertaste, (gently astringent). I could easily eat a huge bowl made from 2 cups of dried quinoa at a sitting, it is very pleasing and filling. I put 1.5 cups of water in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt and a level teaspoon of pure, organic coconut oil, bring that to a full rolling boil under high heat, (I cook on a gas stove), add 1/2 cup of quinoa, stir gently for 30 seconds at full heat to get the quinoa hot so I don't lose the boil when I cover the little saucepan. Cover the saucepan with a small plate, (or adequate top), and reduce to low heat. Cook 15 minutes, stir and check to see there is still enough liquid remaining to continue to cook on low heat, recover, cook for an additional 7 - 10 minutes. Serve on scrambled eggs,Super nutritious dish, high protein, great fats combo from the eggs and the quinoa, great carbs, great nutrition for energy and maintaining and building muscle and conditioning. Doesn't blast your insulin levels, gentle, consistent energy, won't give you the drowsies. This cooking method delivers a product that is soft with just a tickle of texture or "fluff" the quinoa is so well regarded for by those in the culinary know. If you're palate interprets the "fluff" of quinoa as gritty, adding the coconut oil DURING cooking makes a huge difference. And yeah, add a little butter afterwards. A little salt, and a little butter goes a long, long, long way with this delicious food. It's my new food toy!

Best quinoa at this price range
Honest review : I'm a regular buyer of Quinoa. This one is not a premium quality quinoa. For the price of 300+ u cannot expect anything better than this.

Don't believe their claim that these are Organic and Non GMO produce.This is a blatant lie. There is nothing on the package that proves it. No Govt. seal no lab information nothing.

Stale and best avoided
The packet when opened had spider web like thread. There is a stale kind of smell which I never experienced in my earlier quinoa purchase. Unhygienic and when cooked, funny smell. There is no return policy covering the item.

Worst quinoas
I had eaten quinoa in USA and with that taste in mind, I have ordered in India . After cooking here, I found the quinoa’s smell a poignant one and could not eat a spoon of it. Since it is non retuned item, I lost my money. So think before buying

Wonderful product
We've been wanting to use more quinoa in our cooking, but the grocery store options are so expensive! I was so pleased to try this brand, as it is fantastic. And a great amount for the price. Highly recommend. Most recently used in a Kale and Quinoa Salad with Red Grapes- delicious!
