Organic Quinoa, 4 lb – Pre-Washed Whole Grain, Plant Protein, USDA Organic, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher Rice and Pasta Substitute

We LOVE this Quinoa! The quality is excellent, and the fact that it’s pre-washed saves time. It cooks up light, fluffy, and clean-tasting with no bitterness, making it a perfect substitute for rice or pasta in healthy meals. We like it plain with just a little salt and olive oil.It’s a great source of plant protein and much morenutritiousthan pasta. The 4 lb bag is a fantastic value and lasts a long time.I’ve used it in soups, salads, grain bowls, and even breakfast recipes, and it works beautifully every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a healthy, versatile pantry staple.

Rinsing quinoa is a mess. You invariably lose some wet quinoa when transferring out of the strainer into the pot. Pre-rinsed is the way to go! Quinoa is expensive so why waste any? This product is awesome and cheaper than the pre-rinsed quinoa at the local grocery store. Plus, it tastes the same so I just saved some money. I keep this on hand for summer salads. Great as a side dish at a bbq- mix in some carrots and a dairy-free dressing (think Italian or Greek). Then I have a dairy-free, gluten free side dish that comes together so fast!

This quinoa is delicious! I had heard about it's nutritious benefits when my mother encouraged me to try it due to it's great taste, knowing how conscious I was about putting healthy foods into my diet. So I finally bought this version and surprised the husband with it as a replacement for his overnight oats, and he absolutely loves it! I find it to resemble Cream of Wheat in cooked texture but with a more light nutty flavor, which as a child I adored. So adding all the beneficial prebiotic goodies like cinnamon, ginger, collagen, turmeric, chia seed, dried apricots, dried cranberries, blueberries, raspberries...well, you can add just about anything you want to this superfood to benefit your gut! Highly recommend due to it's organic foundation and vast nutritional boost! Excellent product, pleasant aroma (good nutty smell), looks very appetizing, and oh-so-easy to prepare in a matter of minutes. I precook, put into jars with additional organic coconut milk topper and healthy supplements, plus a tablespoon of raw organic honey (more prebiotics) and it really is an outstanding and delicious health boost. It refrigerates up to 4 days for freshness, so you can easily prepare in advance. I also enjoy it hot out of the pot slathered with a big chunk of organic 'real' butter, drizzled with honey and a layer of coconut milk (not water) over the top. So healthy and yummy! Looks amazing, too! Get it! You won't regret it! You can thank me later!

Product is exactly as described. Ordered it for my dad due to type one diabetic and it has worked wonderfully for his morning breakfast instead of oatmeal. He loves it and can flavor it anyway he wants

This is a great deal and I like buying it. However the last bag I got has had some kind of sandy particles in there or something and I need to figure out how to rinse it to get rid of these particles because it’s highly unpleasant to chew crunchy sand or rocks in your teeth I have to spit out my whole mouthful when that happens. Usually I just cook it directly out of the bag in my microwave rice cooker for 10 minutes. I have a fine particle sieve that’s like a long oblong thing with feet that would work but the quinoa grains are so small they get stuck under the rim so I’ll have to get a new sieve I think, and start rinsing it before cooking. At least it doesn’t have that bitter quinoa residue on it though, which is why I was cooking it straight out of the bag.

This Viva Naturals Quinoa came very quickly after ordering it and it is packaged in a heavy duty zip lock bag that holds two pounds of the quinoa. It is organic and pre-washed, gluten free and is a product of Bolivia.I eat quinoa about three times a week. It is one of my favorite grains and it is so easy to make. I love the nutty flavor and it goes well with anything as a side dish. This Viva Naturals quinoa smells very fresh and looks really great, too.First of all, I decided to try it by making one portion. A fourth of a cup of the quinoa is one serving, providing 165 calories and 6 grams of protein (wow). I rinsed the quinoa (now, that is a tricky part of quinoa because you have to have a decent siv in order to keep the small grains from going everywhere after you run the water off. But the quinoa usually stays in the bottom of the siv after you drain the water. So with the ¼ cup quinoa, I added ½ cup water (it’s usually always 1 part quinoa, 2 parts water) and brought it to a boil. After it boiled, I lowered the heat and let it simmer covered, on low for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes, I took it off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.When the 5 minute timer rang, I fluffed up the quinoa, poured it out in a glass bowl to take a picture of what one serving is like, and then ate it! I love this stuff! The Viva Naturals Quinoa has a really fresh nutty taste to it. It was very good plain, but I usually like to toss in some natural seasonings, onions, and a little chopped up broccoli or whatever veggies I have on hand (peas, carrots, corn, you name it). But for the sake of reviewing this product, I left it plain, and I have to admit, I liked it plain!This is really good and fresh quinoa, like I said, it goes with anything and is such a healthy choice of grains, full of protein! I would definitely recommend this brand after trying it and this two pound package is going to last for at least a few weeks in my house—everyone loves it here as a healthy alternative to unhealthy side dishes with our meals. We even like it cold, the next day after it’s made, as a leftover. YUM!!Disclosure: I was given this product with a promotional discount (or for free) in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. And, hey, I look at reviews before I buy something too, to make sure it’s a product that would serve my family in some positive way. I love to share my insight and opinion about the things I buy and I do so with Benjamin Franklin’s quote always in mind: Honesty is the best policy.

My favorite quinoa. Fresh, clean, with a long shelf life. I cook this a couple of times a week, just add it to a rice cooker or throw in a pot with a vented lid and occasionally stir to avoid boil over. For the people out there that don't like quinoa, may I suggest adding texmex spices, some olive oil, and beans to it and cooking it like a taco meat replacement and throw it over sald as a taco salad

Excellent product! Great taste

When cooked, grains are huge. I cook it straight. I take 100 ml of quinoa (a meal for two people), put it in a 0.9ltr (1qt) saucepan, rinse (fill it with a warm water, agitate, drain through a crack in the lid, do the same twice with a cold water), add 230 ml of water, (salt for experimenting), bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a very low to simmer for 30 min with the lid closed. It may seem more on a mushier side, but as to me it's easier to eat as straight.Update in 2023: I was buying this quinoa earlier in 2022, and now I see Viva Naturals moves forward with their product - now it's pre-washed, it's even easier to cook.
