Ancient Harvest Quinoa, Traditional, 12 Ounce

This stuff's great. Comparing calories, it's roughly similar to brown rice. However, the glycemic index is lower, and the amino acid profile is more complete. Plus, there is a lot more protein in quinoa, compared to brown rice! Just check it out on calorie-count.com, nutritiondata.com, whfoods.com, and wikipedia.Amazon has the BEST deal on quinoa around--12 boxes of this stuff for $25. Sure, it's almost twice as expensive as brown rice, but it's worth it!Did I mention that quinoa cooks in less than 15 minutes?? Try that with brown rice (and without pressure cooking, cheaters)!Substitute quinoa for any rice dish. I make spanish rice with quinoa (the 'rice' becomes a misnomer). Same thing for black beans and rice. This stuff's delicious and well textured!Anyway, spread the word about this thing--it really needs to be a bigger staple in the american diet, along with rice and pasta!!

Quinoa (pronounced Keen Wha) is easy to digest, quick to prepare, and boy is it delicious.For breakfast add fruit and perhaps some honey or Stevia.For other meals try using a dressing of olive oil, crushed garlic, crushed red pepper flakes. And throw something like goats cheese, or a few shrimp, or some shreds of chicken, or avocado into the mix. Top with chopped spring onion and cilantro. Yum!Quinoa is a perfectly balanced food that is incredibly good for you.If you want to lose weight but not be hungry, this stuff is for you.

I have nothing against meat. I just find so much of it tough nowadays and stomach upsetting. I have cut back and probably only eat red meat at most 12 times a year for decades now, so I have to supplement to get my body's daily requirement of protein. Quinoa has as much protein as meat, is easy to digest, easy to prepare, and has no taste whatsoever. You have to prepare it with other food/spices to give it flavor. You prepare it the same way you do rice. I also use it now as a substitute for rice. I use this all the time. Remember if you do not eat protein your body will go after your own muscle tissue which IS PROTEIN and begin breaking it down. You will start looking aged. Eat quinoa to avoid that consequence.

If you have read other reviews here, you already know quinoa has a lot going for it; high in complete protein, good source of fiber and minerals. It's very easy to prepare and so versitile. This is hands down the best brand of quinoa I have ever eaten. The only real new contribution I can make in addition to several great reviews here is this. Quinoa can easily be added to smoothies and really beefs up the nutritional value of a sweet treat for picky kids. I toss yogurt, raw baby spinach, orange juice, orange segments and cooked quinoa in my Vitamix and you have a truly delicious, healthy meal in a glass. Don't be afraid to add some sweatener of your choice. You can also add some ice to the blender if you like. There is nothing funky about the texture or taste to this smooth creamy meal.

I just received this product a few weeks ago. it Cooks well and it's grainy like I like it. However it does have an aftertaste that I couldn't remove even if I washed it multiple times so I recommend you eat it with a side dish or a sauce/ cheese on top.

High quality Quinoa. Pre-washed. No pebbles or grit. Tastes good! I can recommend.NOTE: We have taken to using this instead of bulghur wheat when we make Tabouli. It works very well that way.

If you have not tried this product, you should. It is a perfect protein, tastes great and the most important thing is this brand has already been pre-washed and rinsed. We purchased another brand that wasn't pre-washed or rinsed and it kind of tasted like soap....Ancient Harvest does a perfect rinsing job and it tastes delicious. I usually mix it with some elk or deer [lean hamburger would work great also], fresh and canned diced tomato, onion, brown rice and black beans. One box makes ALOT and my neighbors are also enjoying the large portions that it makes.

This brand is by far my favorite brand of Quinoa and it is also organic. The price here at Amazon is considerably cheaper than at my local health food store. I buy this in bulk and eat it multiple times a week.
