Ancient Harvest Quinoa is delicious! The Amazon price is the best I've found. It may seem pricey, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. Quinoa is more of a sprout than a grain and very nutritious (look it up on Wikipedia). Although quinoa is reportedly bitter, Ancient Harvest washes it very well and we did not taste any bitterness at all.
There is a recipe on the back of the box and several more inside. I tried several and they were all delicious. We even like to eat it like oatmeal in the morning. I'm not much into "new wave" food, but this is a winner.

I love Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa. It is well picked over for twigs, hulls and debris and has been very well rinsed. It is ready to cook right out of the bag as it is so you can toast it in the pan before adding the cooking liquid. That makes quinoa taste so much better.
It is way too over priced though. Even the way over priced Bob's Red Mill brand is quite a bit cheaper. Quinoa of this quality should not cost more than $3.99/lb. If you live near a Trader Joe's or a good bulk food store get your quinoa there. Currently, here on Amazon, Arrowhead Mills comes in at about that price if you sign up for Subscribe & Save but I've heard that it is not as well rinsed which would be a problem quality wise. Eden quinoa costs over $4/lb here but is still cheaper than Bob's Red Mill or Ancient Harvest.
So quality wise I'd give this 5 stars but because of the poor price/value I give it 1 star, hence the 3 star review.

This stuff's great. Comparing calories, it's roughly similar to brown rice. However, the glycemic index is lower, and the amino acid profile is more complete. Plus, there is a lot more protein in quinoa, compared to brown rice! Just check it out on calorie-count.com, nutritiondata.com, whfoods.com, and wikipedia.
Amazon has the BEST deal on quinoa around--12 boxes of this stuff for $25. Sure, it's almost twice as expensive as brown rice, but it's worth it!
Did I mention that quinoa cooks in less than 15 minutes?? Try that with brown rice (and without pressure cooking, cheaters)!
Substitute quinoa for any rice dish. I make spanish rice with quinoa (the 'rice' becomes a misnomer). Same thing for black beans and rice. This stuff's delicious and well textured!
Anyway, spread the word about this thing--it really needs to be a bigger staple in the american diet, along with rice and pasta!!
