LOVE the quinoa, cooks up beautifully, tastes awesome. The only problem I have with this product is the fact that the cooking directions are incorrect. I've been working with quinoa for years, and the standard method is 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. For some odd reason, the instructions on the bag only call for one and 1/4 cups water to one cup of quinoa. I thought perhaps this company did something different during the drying process to make cooking require less water, so I tried it as per the directions the first time I cooked it - the quinoa was dry and badly under-done. When I tried again with 2full cups of water, it came out perfectly.
The incorrect directions don't matter all that much to me, but for people who've never worked with quinoa before, this could be a pretty big problem. It won't stop me from repurchasing, however, b/c this brand is very economical & the quality of the product itself is perfect.

I finally bought this Quinoa, and it is really good. It is versatile; depending on how you season it depends on how it turns out. For example, it can be seasoned with lemon, pepper, garlic, basil, etc. It can also be seasoned with brown sugar.
I am not going to write a long review; the grain itself is versatile enough to make it just about any way you want. And it's easy to prepare. And it's healthful (I'll get into that in the next paragraph).
From what I'd heard about the grain, it is "old", "strong", "healthy, "wise" (even has built up a coating that is a resistance to insects). This grain intrigues me; I plan to look up its history.
Quinoa (which I recently found out) is what dieticians call a "complete protein". Other than meat products, there aren't a lot of "complete proteins" that I know of, other than soy. I do not eat soy. So I thought I'd give this product a try.

This quinoa is the best. You don't have to rinse it and it tastes great. I just made a jambalaya with quinoa instead of rice and it's delicious.

Healthy Food Choice
I have enjoyed the health benefits of quinoa. It's a good replacement for white rice or other such. It seemed a bit pricey, but I guess it's worth it.

Wish it was prewashed
Tasty and good for you. I just wish that it was prewashed so I did not have to rinse it before putting it in my rice cooker.
