HAPPY ANDESRed Quinoa, Non-GMO & Gluten, Whole Grain Rice Substitute, Ready to Cook Food for Oats & Seeds Recipes, Healthy Meal with Vitamins & Protein, Best Value, 3 lb

I make a beet tabbouleh from Dr. Weil's website. It's super healthy and it's supposed to have red quinoa. I used up all my white quinoa before finally buying this one and it really makes the salad perfect, especially since the beets would bleed into the white quinoa before. I used a two to one water to quinoa ratio and follow the package directions for stove top quinoa and it turned out perfect. I will update my review if I make this in the rice cooker... I am not sure yet what water ratio I should use in the rice maker.

This is an excellent product and good value. I bought my first bag 6 weeks ago and I'm back now to buy more. I only wish they packaged it in 5 pound bags, which might bring down the cost per pound a little.

Red quinoa has a heavier texture compared to white, making it taste nuttier and is a bit chewier. Red variety contains more fiber in comparison with the other two kinds (white and black), but overall has the same nutritional value as white quinoa.In general, quinoa has a bitter and gritty outer coating called saponin, which needs to be rinsed away before cooking (under cold water for 30 seconds in a mesh strainer).~ Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.~ Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. It is also an excellent source of many vitamins (especially vitamin B9) and minerals.Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten safely if one has gluten intolerance such as celiac disease.

Simply love this stuff. Goes great with salads and provides a healthy filler for breakfast foods. We have been incorporating it into everything.

Tastes great! Red quinoa has the best flavor in my opinion, but it’s been harder to find in stores locally over the past few years.

Great product value for money

I just cooked my first batch of this quinoa, and it’s good. Nothing to complain about, and the price is much better than what I had been paying. It’s as good as the organic from Sprouts or Sun Organic. I prefer red to any other colors, and it’s very easy to cook in my instant pot. I cook one pound (or 227 grams) at a time, with 1 2/3 c water for 14 minutes on pressure cook, and it comes out perfect. I highly recommend adding kosher salt and extra virgin olive oil. Before I tried adding salt and oil, I did not like quinoa, but adding those makes it much good.

I bought this after using white quinoa for a long time and wanted to make my own blend..This has a wonderful flavor and a bit of a crunchyness to it to accent the white which does not.It is a great side when you add a 17 spice blend, a bit of butter and some broth to cook it in..Great value for the money as well..Will buy again..be sure to wash before cooking..
