5.0 out of 5 stars Great product March 1, 2010
Excellent flavor, and everyone knows quinoa is a super grain.

We actually bought this from our Costco warehouse and much cheaper, only $9.99 for the 4 lb. bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars High protein, alkaline wheat substitute January 5, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Quinoa, pronounced "keen-wah," is touted by many as a "super food." It seems as if it might be a whole grain, but it actually is a seed. It is grown in the Andes Mountains of South America and is an ancient food highly prized by the Incas.

Quinoa is very high in protein compared to grains, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians. It is also on the approved list for those on an alkaline diet as it is considered less acid than grains. Many people with gluten sensitivities substitute quinoa for wheat. When quinoa is rated on the glycemic index, it comes in at a very low 18, making it a great choice for people who are hypoglycemic, diabetic, or on a low-glycemic diet to lose weight.

1 cup of cooked quinoa has this nutritional breakdown:
222 calories, which is 70% carbs, 15% fat, and 15% protein in this manner:
4 grams of (healthy) fat
39 grams of carbohydrates (5 grams of which is fiber)
8 grams of protein

Quinoa contains folate, which is an important B vitamin, magnesium, phosphorous, copper and manganese.

Quinoa can be ground into flour (I use my Vita-Mix to do that) and substituted for wheat flour in recipes for baked goods. The whole seed can be cooked just like rice. You use 2 cups of water per 1 cup of quinoa, bring it to a boil, and let it simmer about 15 minutes. When you see ring-shaped sprouts popping out of the quinoa seeds, it is almost finished. Stir it to make sure all the water is absorbed.

Quinoa by itself tastes a bit bland, but that's actually an advantage in cooking as it can absorb the flavor of herbs and spices very well. It makes an excellent pilaf and a nice addition to a thick, hearty soup. You can also stir in blueberries or other fruit and eat it as a breakfast porridge.

5.0 out of 5 stars GR8 value for an Organic food September 14, 2011
Contrary to some of the reviews here, I find 'Earthly Choice' brand very good tasting and price-wi$e, it beats out the price I pay at either the fruit market or 'cost-club' ($5.49/14 oz.) Organic foods can be expensive. I used to have a Whole Foods store near me, but it closed, so this is the next best value.

Here's some clues about quinoa:
- Quinoa is surrounded by an outer shell. If you don't wash it, the end result could be a bitter taste, which makes many dislike the taste of quinoa. Another good idea is to, after washing, combine it with another food.

- Cooking ratio (for small serving): 2/3 cup quinoa to 1 cup water. Fifteen minutes will do it.

- Quinoa is good for the body, providing all 8 amino acids, which no other food can provide. (Amino acids are good for muscle & bone structure. If you work out at the gym, this helps repair muscle you 'tear up'!)

- I eat quinoa everyday, at different times, (because I eat 6 small-portioned meals). It is gr8 for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or night-time snack.

- Cereal recipe: 2/3 cup organic steel cut 'Irish-type' oats, 2/3 cup washed quinoa, 4 cups organic fat-free milk, 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. First simmer up the milk and vanilla. Add oats and cook for 15 minutes. Add quinoa and cook another 17 minutes, (because it takes 22 min to thoroughly cook oats, I find). Pour into 7 individual serving containers. (I use glass ramekins with plastic lids). Refrigerate and you have a breakfast meal for each day of the week. (For breakfast, I add Ellie Krieger's 'Nutty Topping', recipe found on the Food Network website, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, ground flaxseed meal, wheat germ, vegetable yeast, 1/2 scoop whey protein powder.) Good for sports and pre-gym, because steel oats stick with you longer than other breakfast foods - tip from my cycling trainer!

- Add quinoa to anything else, soups, salads, rice & bean dishes, even desserts - great in cookies, especially chocolate chip, oatmeal and homemade nature bars.
