I buy this regularly. Compared with many other brands of quinoa, these seeds are a bit smaller when dry, but the cooked quinoa looks the same. I like the higher nutrition profile of this varietal and that it is grown in Canada. Compare the Nutrition Facts label on the package (image in listing) with those for other brands. Much more iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium and the same or more for other nutrients (e.g. protein, fibre). Be sure to rinse this quinoa. When I do so, it produces some foam for the first few seconds, where many other brands do not produce foam. I assume this is from the saponins that I am rinsing off. No bitter taste.

A healthy tasty product in a bright colourful package which at 400 g is a perfect size for a small family . I care about supporting Canadian business and this product grown and packaged in Ontario is even better as I am from Ontario.

I am very particular about everything I eat and how it nourishes my mind, body and soul. I have a certificate in plant based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies & eCornell (University). So foods like this are at the top of my list. Yet, quinoa is something I have to add other things to so I can enjoy it, because it is always bitter despite rinsing it well. This stuff changed all that! I can eat it without adding anything! I read the back story on this product/company and it is very impressive. But if you want to encourage your fussier family members to eat this, especially kids, simply serve this as cereal first instead of a side dish. I cook it as directed, add plant based milk, natural peanut butter and some cubed (or sliced) banana. As a side dish you can use your favorite broth in place of the water. It can be used in vegan burritos in addition to, or instead of beans or lentils. And I love using this in my whole wheat, 9 grain homemade bread recipes. The ideas are endless with this versatile quinoa. I really think this is top notch, and I will eat much more quinoa now than I used to on account of how tasty this is. As Canadians we should be proud of such an innovative product and all the work that went into its creation. What an amazing product, and to this wonderful company I say- keep up the fantastic work!! Thank you SO much!
