5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't know what to expect but I liked it January 27, 2010

Saw this item on Martha Stewart and decided to try it. It's unusual but I love the texture. Like cavier, without the salty taste. It does get stuck in my teeth though. I've only eaten it for breakfast so far. A little of the raw grains makes a LOT. And you need a strainer or cheese cloth to rinse it -- the grains are so small they go right through a colander.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trying a gluten Free diet: this works and it also offers folate and potassium, too December 20, 2009

By Sincerely Yours TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

For digestive reasons, I decided to try a gluten free diet: not so easy and Eden offers a lot of gluten free products. This grain was very easy to cook, and to make it more flavorful I added chopped shiitake mushrooms (great for the immune system) and pucini stock cube with low sodium chicken stock. Even my husband liked it (not easy getting everyone in the family to try new and healthy products).

The grain may not open up after cooking for 20 minutes, but I found it very soft. So dont over cook to get the 'open' grain look like that on the package.

The price that is offered on Amanzon is fantastic compared with our local health food store. Once I finish the pack, I will order from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much better alternative to rice that's for sure! October 27, 2011

I try to eat healthy, but it is hard to eat both healthy and cheaply at the same time. I've been looking into ordering Quinoa for years, hopefully the world is finally learning that this is the new super-food, and thankfully I can now finally order it at reasonable prices fairly easily too, so I gave this bag a try. The red because it tastes better according to the critics, and well quite frankly, everything I have read about it is true. It tastes like nuts, is a little crunchy, and the seeds pop when you cook it turning into little snail looking bead sprouts. It is a lot smaller than I expected, but slightly more than doubles in size when you cook it. It was a lot easier to cook than rice which clumps together too easily. Because of the nutty taste I can even eat Quinoa as is, nothing added, something I would never do with rice, and Quinoa because of the high nutrient content makes a completely healthy meal all by itself! Heads up though, WASH IT SEVERAL TIMES IF IT SAYS WASH ON THE BAG. It is not like rice that you wash just to get rid of the dusty powder. If you don't wash Quinoa well before you eat it, then it will taste very acidic like putting a penny in your mouth at first. I really like this stuff and will eat it all until it's gone.
