 Makes me feel good.Jun 24, 2008
By Cheryl Wedesweiler
"author of SUMMER BORN and DREAMS IN AUGUST: LIFE, LOVE, and CEREBELLAR ATAXIA"
Very tasty. If I am not feeling well, I have some quinoa and then I feel better. It is very gentle on my stomach and soothing. It is so full of vitamins and gluten-free. It is so natural.
I eat it in a bowl with milk and sugar, or plain as a side-dish. I also add it to meatloaf instead of the bread crumbs.
To rinse it-I line a collander (strainer) with a kitchen towel, measure 1 cup of quinoa into it, let water run over it until the collander is half full, and then swish my hand around the quinoa. I let the water drain out of the collander and then repeat the process two more times. After it has drained for the final time, I let the quinoa fall out of the towel into the pot I am going to cook it in. I brush the quinoa that doesn't come out with my hand. (I do all this in the sink so it doesn't get all over.)
Then I add the water (for the recipe) to the pot, add a little butter and salt, let it boil, and then turn the heat down to low for 15 minutes-or until most of the water is gone.
YUMMY!!

Great rice alternative - and healthier!Apr 23, 2009
By Erica Enfinger
This is fine with just water if you want to put something over it. However, if you want an easy, tasty, healthy side, try tossing around with a little butter and garlic then cook with veggie or chicken broth.
And remember - rinse, rinse, rinse beforehand and stir a few times while cooking.
This has a lot of nutrients, so worth a try and some experimentation.

 Not the best quinoa optionSep 11, 2009
By G. Schwab
I have tried several brands of quinoa and this is my least favorite because of the bitter taste. The other brands (Bob's Red Mill, Nature's Harvest, NOW) are pre-rinsed, which helps remove the bitterness. Have you ever tried rinsing quinoa? The unboiled grains are tiny and slip through all but the tightest knit colander or sieve. Even after rinsing, there was still a bitter taste. The price is more competitive, but the taste leaves much to be desired.

Different and goodJul 31, 2009
By K. Kyle
Cooks up easily. Very tasty cooked in chicken stock. I did rinse and soak overnight in an acid medium (sprouts quickly by the way). Not so very different from rice or pasta in taste to us.
I ordered when the cost was just a couple dollars a bag, which was a good value. $89.99? NEVER!

 worst quinoa i've ever tastedOct 13, 2010
By FNC
i normally don't write reviews, but needed some recourse since i have to eat 6 bags of this bitter stuff. and the bitterness refuses to go away no matter how long you wash the grains. (other quinoa i've eaten in the past, i don't even bother to wash.) the nutty quinoa flavor i love is entirely missing. don't buy it.
