The end result? Noticeably larger, rounder and heartier grains that lend a delicate softness and incredible mouthfeel once prepared.
SATISFY HUNGER TO FEEL FULLER LONGER - Contrary to rice and millet, our quinoa provides a hefty amount of fiber (3g) and protein (6g) per individual serving, helping to satisfy hunger and curb food cravings all day long!
BUILDING BLOCK FOR PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - As a complete vegetarian protein, our quinoa provides a complete range of essential and non-essential amino acids, helping to maintain lean muscle mass and support enzyme production for everyday health.
ENRICH MODERN DAY RECIPES - Our quinoa replaces rice at equal ratios and is even suitable for rice cookers! Add a unique twist to stir-fry, sushi and Mexican rice recipes for added nutrition and a naturally nutty flavor in every spoonful. Certified organic and non-GMO, our quinoa is sustainably sourced in accordance with fair trade practices.
DE-SAPONIZED FOR ENHANCED FLAVOR - Free of pesticides and harsh chemical processing, our quinoa is mechanically de-saponized and triple washed to remove quinoa’s bitter exterior. Our customers rave about our quinoa! “This package was easy to prepare. I just gave it a quick rinse and popped it into my rice cooker. It came out great and I couldn't taste any bitterness.” Great for pilaf!

What is Quinoa?

Quinoa is an ancient crop that has been harvested in the Andean Mountains for over 6,000 years. Unlike commonly consumed cereals such as wheat, corn and rice, quinoa is considered to be a pseudocereal. Pseudocereals are crops that contain seeds that are whole grains, gluten-free and higher in protein and other nutrients. Quinoa is easy to digest and adds culinary flare to ordinary cuisine, enjoyed as a complete meal or side dish any day of the week.

Viva Naturals Organic Whole Grain Quinoa

Cultivating the Golden Grain of the Andes

Cherished as the 'Gold of the Incas', warriors in ancient civilizations looked to quinoa for increased stamina and strength in preparation for their battles. Now an ancient South American staple, our quinoa is cultivated from the majestic Andes Mountains where quinoa grows in high flat plains at extreme temperatures, ideal for optimal growth. Our traditional ivory grains are larger in size compared to existing variations of quinoa, lending an incredibly soft texture and delicate mouthfeel once prepared.

The Viva Naturals Difference

While the majority of quinoa products require up to 24 hours of soaking, Viva Naturals limits rinsing and soaking time by carefully removing quinoa’s natural bitter coating known as 'saponins'. Saponins are undesirable waxy, soapy substances that are known to alter flavor and significantly increase preparation time. Traditionally quinoa is chemically altered to rid the grains of its harsh exterior, removing desirable nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. Our quinoa is mechanically de-saponized without the use of solvents or harsh chemicals to preserve quinoa’s extensive nutritional properties while elevating taste.

Sourced directly from the reclusive Altiplano region at high Andean plateaus, our Bolivian quinoa is cultivated at soft mountain peaks under optimal sunlight and chilly winds, contributing to its unique characteristics. Once prepared our quinoa lends a smooth, light texture, attributed to the larger size of Altiplano quinoa, that is incredibly soft and pleasant on the palate. Rich in fiber, essential amino acids like lysine, and vitamins and minerals like potassium, iron and magnesium, Viva Naturals Organic Whole Grain Quinoa contributes to a well-balanced diet and is a must-have for your everyday kitchen requirements.

Source of Dietary Fiber

As a pseudocereal, Viva Naturals’ quinoa is considered to be a whole grain and is therefore higher in fiber than traditional cereals. Dietary recommendations suggest men and women should consume 38 grams and 25 grams of fiber per day, respectively, to help maintain a well balanced diet. Our quinoa contains 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving and is consumed for its benefits including promoting satiety and regularity, cutting cravings and regulating blood sugar levels.

Complete Vegetarian Protein

Our quinoa is a complete protein source containing all of the essential amino acids, making it highly suitable for vegetarians who typically follow a plant-based diet. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be made by the body alone and must therefore be obtained through the diet. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body mass, or about 0.4 grams per pound. Each serving of Viva Naturals Organic Whole Grain Quinoa contains 6 grams of protein.

Neutral Color and Mild Flavor

Aesthetically similar to rice, quinoa can easily be substituted for brown or white rice without altering the flavor of your favorite dishes. White quinoa is neutral in color and lends a pleasant nutty flavor, pairing nicely as a nutritious side dish or complete well-balanced meal. Even the toughest of food critics will fall in love with our delicious quinoa with its delicate mouthfeel and versatility in any recipe.

Gluten-Free Grain

Quinoa has gained popularity as a nutritious and satisfying gluten-free grain, serving as an excellent replacement to traditional wheat products. While white and brown rice are also gluten-free and suitable alternatives, quinoa lends an unsurpassed nutrition profile with its amino acids, B vitamins, iron, fiber and protein in every serving. For those following a gluten-free diet, our quinoa can be consumed as a breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner, satisfying hunger all throughout the day.

Satiating Side Dish

Our quinoa serves as a nutritious and satiating side dish, complementing any vegetarian or non-vegetarian meal. To prepare quinoa, simply rinse prior to boiling for about 10 seconds. For every one cup of quinoa add two cups of water. Begin by placing one cup of quinoa and two cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan. Allow the quinoa to simmer on medium heat, covered, for 15 minutes or until water has completely evaporated. Remove from heat and allow quinoa to cool for five minutes, fluff with fork and serve. One cup of dry quinoa yields three cups of cooked quinoa.

Hearty Breakfast Cereal

As an alternative to oatmeal, quinoa serves as a nutritious hot or cold breakfast cereal due its pleasantly neutral taste and mild aroma. Prepare quinoa ahead of time and store in your refrigerator to replace everyday cereals lacking the abundant nutrition found in our delightful quinoa. Serve with milk or milk alternative, fruit, sweetener of choice and cinnamon for a protein-filled breakfast and rich fiber goodness in every spoonful.

Dessert Pudding

Enjoy an alternative to sticky rice pudding with our quinoa for increased nutrition but same great mouthfeel and taste. Simply mix three cups of whole milk or a milk alternative, two tablespoons of vanilla extract, ¼ cup agave nectar and pinch of salt in a saucepan and allow to simmer. Add one cup of Viva Labs Organic Whole Grain Quinoa (rinsed) and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Once thickened remove from heat and serve warm or cold. Top with your choice of fruit, nuts, spices and sweetener for a guilt-free satisfying dessert.

Quinoa Flour

To enhance your gluten-free culinary experience, turn ordinary quinoa grains into a hearty gluten-free quinoa flour. Simply blend a desired amount of Viva Labs Organic Whole Grain Quinoa in a high-speed food processor for two minutes until grains become granular. Quinoa flour can be substituted at a 1-1 ratio to traditional grain flours. Satisfy your guilty pleasures while heightening the nutritional value of gluten-free homemade breads, cakes, muffins and delectable cupcakes!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is quinoa prepared?

A: One cup of dry quinoa yields three cups of cooked quinoa. Simply rinse the quinoa and apply a 2-1 ratio of water to quinoa. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce it to low heat. Allow the quinoa to simmer covered and cook for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and remove from heat. Let the quinoa cool for 5 minutes, fluff with fork and serve.

Q: How many servings can I consume daily?

A: Percent Daily Values, recommended dietary guidelines based on a 2,000 calorie diet, suggest a maximum of 300g of carbohydrates per day. Each ¼ cup (dry) serving of Viva Naturals Organic Whole Grain Quinoa contains 30g representing 10% of your daily total. The number of daily servings is based on each individual as his or her goals are unique.

Q: Does quinoa require rinsing before use?

A: Typically quinoa is rinsed to remove bitter saponins which comprise the outer exterior of quinoa grains. Our quinoa is mechanically de-saponized, removing unwanted saponins and limiting rinse time. We recommend running cold water over our quinoa grains through a sieve for roughly one minute to ensure any remaining debris are removed.

Q: What are the differences between existing quinoa varieties?

A: Quinoa exists in a variety of colors, most commonly white, red and black varieties. White is often preferred over existing varieties due to its neutral properties and is easiest to incorporate into recipes without altering flavor or appearance.

Quinoa, the Mighty Grain
Quinoa is an ancient South American staple cultivated from the pristine Andean mountains. It is revered as "the mother grain" and known to be "the gold of the Incas".

Quinoa does not belong to the same family as wheat, barley, oats or rye, making it suitable for anyone following a gluten-free diet.

Nutrition Profile of Viva Naturals Organic Quinoa

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Our quinoa is a complete protein source that contains all of the essential amino acids, making it highly suitable for vegetarians who typically follow a plant-based diet.

Royal Quinoa from Bolivia is not just a gimmick, this stuff is GOOD!

November 9, 2016

Size: 4 Pound BagVerified Purchase

I have been consuming quinoa for years. I like that it has a much higher protein content than other grains, along with a more complete amino-acid profile. Additionally, it contains a good amount of iron and the minerals. It's just an overall more nutritious grain (even though it's not technically a grain, but let's not be too nitpicky.

I used to buy quinoa from places like Trader Joe's, Publix, and more recently Costco. Usually the quinoa was from Peru and it was pretty good, although it was occasionally a bit tough. Then, around a couple of years ago, I started having really bad luck with my store bought quinoa. I couldn't sprout it and it would start smelling really bad when I soaked it. This was the quinoa from Publix. I then tried quinoa from Costco, and in the bag it smelled horrible, like moldy/mushroomy, so I had to throw it out.

Now, let me say that sprouting quinoa is not only an amazing test to verify that you are getting good quality quinoa, but it's also a great way to further increase its nutritional value. I also often sprout beans and the grains before cooking them. This is not some kind of new-agey nonsense, there is good science behind the idea of sprouting grains and legumes in order to make them more nutritious. The most important thing is that you do it yourself (it's so easy) and you don't fall for the 3-times-the-price pre-sprouted grains you can find in healthfood stores, because they are a total ripoff (unless you are a high executive millionaire whose time is worth too much money).

To sprout grains (or legumes) you just soak them overnight in filtered water (you could use tap water but I'd really avoid it if possible), drain the water, and leave them in a bowl covered with a towel to keep out insects/dust. Within a day or two you will see some tiny little sprouts coming out and at that point the grains or legumes are ready to be cooked. To understand what sprouting does, just think about the fact that seeds are the way plants propagate. In order to be successful, the plants store a certain amount of energy in the seeds as complex carbohydrates, along with vitamins and minerals. And the seed is designed so that it will be viable under optimal conditions for centuries, until the seeds are exposed to water. Once the seed is exposed to water, enzymes inside the seed activate, and they start making the energy from the carbohydrates, the vitamins, etc, available for the creation of the new plant. Basically all the nutrition inside the seed becomes ready to use, but only after going through the sprouting process!

Like I mentioned before, sprouting is not only good for increasing the nutritional value of what you are eating, but it's also a great test to see if you got a good quality product. If the grains, seeds or legumes are fresh and well preserved, they are supposed to be viable, and as such they will sprout if you expose them to water. If the seeds or grains don't sprout, it means that they are probably dead, which can either be due to improper and prolonged storage, or to irradiation, or due to being some type of GMO designed not to be viable. Either way, it's not a good sign.

So, after a couple of years of not consuming quinoa due to the poor quality of what I could find in the stores, I decided to try ordering on Amazon. I also had a chance to test recently some quinoa from Bolivia instead of Peru and really liked it. I have to say, at the beginning I was not totally sold on the "Royal Quinoa" thing. It just sounded like marketing gimmick. When I got my first sample of Royal Quinoa from Bolivia and I liked it I thought it could be just luck, but now that I tasted a second batch of quinoa that is still "Royal Quinoa" but from a different brand, I can say that there is really something about the quinoa form Bolivia, and I believe it to be superior to the quinoa from Peru I used to buy before.

I'm including some pics of my quinoa from Viva Labs sprouting beautifully after just one day. All in all I'm very happy with this product and I will certainly continue to buy it, as it's comparable in price to the quinoa I can find in stores, but the quality is on a whole different level!

Lastly, let me leave you with a recipe I came up for cooking quinoa that I really like.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup white quinoa
- 2 strips of bacon
- half an onion
- extra virgin olive oil
- dry oregano

Cut up the bacon in small strips or squares. Also chop half an onion finely. Put the bacon inside a steel pot on medium heat. After a few minutes, the bacon will have released a good amount of fat and will have taken on a browned appearance. Take the pot off the fire and scoop out most of the fat with a spoon. Discard the fat. (You don't have to discard the fat, but I like to do it so that I reduce the amount of bacon fat I'm consuming, in favor of other healthy fats like olive oil).

Then put in the finely chopped onion in the pot with the bacon and sauté the onion stirring frequently. If you removed too much bacon fat and you see that the onion starts to stick, add a little bit of olive oil.

Once the onions are nice and yellowish/brown in color (a little brown is ok but don't burn them!), add the quinoa that you will have previously rinsed with fresh water along with 2 cups of water. If you are using sprouted quinoa, add just one cup of water instead. Add some salt, stir, and cover with a lid. Once the water starts boiling, lower the heat to simmer, and cook it for 25 minutes, or until the water has disappeared. If you find that it's taking too long, and the quinoa tastes done, you can take off the lid and let the water evaporate more quickly.

Once the water is gone, turn off the fire, sprinkle the quinoa with dried oregano and stir it well. Finally, put it in a bowl, and pour some extra virgin olive oil on top. You can stir the olive oil into the quinoa or start eating the quinoa without stirring the olive oil in. I prefer NOT to stir, as it allows you to really taste the olive oil, and as long as you are using really good extra virgin olive oil, I believe it's the best way to eat this dish.

Alternatively, you can also cook it in chicken broth instead of water, which will give it a great flavor! If you found this useful, please consider giving me positive feedback. And if you have any questions, let me know.

Counterfeit Cop

Quinoa is lovely, wonderful, new, exotic and gentle, and very nutritious, but ... more expensive than brown rice.

March 10, 2017

Size: 4 Pound BagVerified Purchase

Wow, I'm a real fan of brown rice and I never eat white rice. I bodybuild, 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, WOW, YUM ! 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!

Good price for 4 lbs of quinoa

April 13, 2015

Size: 4 Pound BagVerified Purchase

There are so many ways to cook and pair quinoa. As a result, I eat it almost every day and I cook for just my husband and myself. Yet, most packages are very small (perhaps about 12 oz.) and this does not accommodate even just 2 people eating quinoa daily. That is why I love this product - it is 4 lbs of quinoa goodness, and certified organic! I even buy this for my family as my mother prepares meals for my father and 3 younger siblings. So, she goes through quinoa much more quickly than I.

I have always loved quinoa because it is high in protein and very versatile to cook with (I can pair it with ANY meat or vegetable dish and it will always perfectly compliment it). I can boil it in a chicken stock or I can boil it with some coconut milk for added flavor. Or, for even more flavor, I can toss it in a pan with some paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic and a little salt, then boil it in water and it tastes like a spanish-style side dish.

Another helpful tip - you can cook quinoa in a rice cooker, just set it and forget it! So, you don't have to watch it boil down before reducing the heat, you can just place it in your rice cooker and add water until it is about 1 inch above the level of the quinoa and begin cooking.

Regardless of your preferred method of preparing it, you are going to need lots of it and this product is superior in its size and the low price point.

Excellent Quinoa

April 17, 2017

Size: 4 Pound BagVerified Purchase

I was not a big fan of quinoa before getting Viva Naturals Royal quinoa. Now I like quinoa. Although the Viva quinoa is prewashed, I've found that further washing doesn't hurt. As shown in the third photo (attached), right out of the bag, the water is frothy. I'm not sure if frothy is fine for some people, but I wash the Viva quinoa thoroughly until the water runs super clear. And then I wash it some more. I use an OXO Good Grips quinoa colander to wash the quinoa. I find the OXO colander to be indispensable for this purpose. It's a rare product that's much better than you would expect.
