Bob's Red Mill Organic Grain Quinoa, 26-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)

I have to say Id never heard of quinoa until I read about it being an excellent source of slow digesting carbs in Muscle & Fitness. So I bought some and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like the taste. I tend to cook it in a steamer just how I would cook brown rice and it works fine.

Overall its just food so I wont get too thrilled about it and rave about it in this review but if you want a good tasting and healthy food I would recommend this product.

This grain is an excellent replacement for rice. One try and you'll be hooked on this incredible food for life. All Bob's red mill products are top notch.

This is only the 3rd time we have purchased quinoa. Previously, we used quinoa purchased from Whole Foods. It is comparable, less expensive, and avoids the need for prerinsing. What's not to like!

Mostly, my wife has made salads. They have been huge hits with friends and family. We tried making stuffed bell peppers substituting quinoa for rice. However, the quinoa did not open up and remained in seed form. So, we have more to learn about how to cook with this great grain.

I love quinoa and Bob's Red Mill is terrific. Plus, it's pre-rinsed! Healthy and tasty, quinoa is a wonderful and versatile grain. This being organic makes the purchase a no-brainer.

Quinoa is a delicious and more nutritional version of rice and cooks very easily. It is probably the most nutritional grain because of it high protein (12-18%), fiber, phosphorus, iron and magnesium content. The protein in Quinoa is complete with all amino acids (unlike rice which lacks in lysine) which makes it an excellent grain for vegetarians.

I cooked Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Quinoa just like rice and it was ready in 20 minutes. You have to rinse it well otherwise the grains are sticky. Soaking in water before cooking, like rice, also helps. It can be used in a variety of ways just-hot with meals and cold with salad - like rice. It is very sumptuous, filling and has somewhat nutty flavor. Strongly recommended.
