Pereg Quinoa All Italiana Box (6 Oz) | Rich in Protein, Fibre & Iron | Rice & Pasta Alternative | Quinoa Superfood Grain | Gluten-Free, Vegan & Non-GMO | Flavored with Veggies & Herbs

My daughter. who loves Quinoa, enjoys this as a meal. Easy to make for the college student and good nutrition.

Our family doesn't particularly like quinoa,but I ran across this product (brand) at TJMaxx and decided to try it. The first time was using the direction on the box and the quinoa was pretty good, but a little bland. The second time I added about a third of a cup of parm cheese (maybe a bit more) to four servings and it was GREAT. My family doesn't realize that this is coming out of a box and they think I have some amazing recipe for quinoa. I've not found this again at TJMaxx or my local grocery stores, so I buy it on Amazon - 4 boxes at a time to keep up with demand. Also, this is great with left over chicken - cut and chunk the chicken up, throw in the parm, and fluff it up. Oh, and my son says that this is a healthy grain which is one of the reasons I decided to buy it in the first place.

I was really excited to try this! It was actually pretty good, just a little dry. BUT!!An hour later I got extremely sick. I started throwing up along with diarrhea. I know I've had Quinoa before but this my first time trying this.I did some reasearch and saw a lot of people have reactions to this type of food. I really wish I would have known before eating it. It was miserable and it wasn't your standard food poisoning I literally had an allergic reaction. I only warn those we are wanting to purchase it, eat at your own risk!

Tiny portion but great tasting

love it

I happened upon this as TJMaxx, so I thought I'd give it a try. It smelled good when I was cooking it but when I came time to eat I was very disappointed. It is so bland! When you see all of the herbs and spices in the mixture you assume it's going to have at least a bit of flavor, but no. It was just like eating plain quinoa. You could add your own extra spices and such, but that defeats the purpose of the product.

My daughter recently went gluten free, and she loves quinoa. I actually bought this at Wegmans...10.5 oz for 4.99. Not sure why it's so expensive on Amazon. Anyway, I made this with Kitchen Basics unsalted chicken stock, rather than the water. I thought it was quite flavorful. I added some browned chopped up chicken breast to complete the meal. She loved it. I like that it's very flexible, you could add more seasonings, chopped up veggies, whatever, to suit your tastes. Even though it's more expensive here, I will buy it, to save myself a trip to Wegmans, as it's a forty minute trip.

I use quinoa much of the time. A grain every day, brown rice, Millet, Quinoa. This I found at Marshalls. Various combinations. I bought all they had at $2.99 each. Cooking directions a bit off. I cook in heavy pot 2cups water, box of Pereg and for only ten minutes very low. Then remove from stove stir with wooden spoon, cover until ready to eat. If it sticks to bottom it has been cooked too long.
