Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Quinoa (Keen-wah) (Chenopodium Quinoa) was a widely used grain by the Incas and has been grown in the Andes for centuries. The Quechua name for Quinoa translates as "the mother grain" or "super grain". The United Nations World Health Organization observes that Quinoa is closer to the ideal protein balance than any other grain. Quinoa is equivalent to milk in protein and is high in Vitamin B, Vitamin E, iron, zinc, potassium and calcium. It's also high in essential amino acids. Quinoa has recently become popular in the U.S. due to not only it's unique texture and flavor, but also its nutritional superiority. When cooked, the thin germ circlet falls from the seed and remains crunchy while the grain, pearly and translucent, melts in your mouth. Quinoa has a slight nutty flavor and is a good substitute for couscous or bulghur in many dishes.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product
This is the least expensive source we have foiund for quinoa here on the Big Island of Hawaii. When our local source reached $4.35/lb, we decided to look online. Great product and great service.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - High Mountain Gourmet. Food of the Gods.
Even though I write reviews mostly on my favorite types of escape novels, I was sparked by Amazon's enthusiasm, to take part in the grocery store and gourmet food expansions here. My first purchase (of products beyond books) included a grain called QUINOA (Keenwa.

The product arrived in very good order and within perfect timing.

In that maiden purchase I also added lavender and clove essential oils to my shopping cart, along with powdered cloves, and lavender tea. See my Listmania on Essential Oils (which indicates which items I've reviewed) for info on the values and uses of lavender and cloves, available from various vendors here.

I consider Quinoa to be the most valuable food available on the planet, a food which meets my standards for luxury gourmet in flavor (and culinary versatility), in addition to being baseline healthy with full-spectrum nourishment.

If I had to be limited to only 4 items or food groups (in addition to water, of course) to eat or drink, those would be Quinoa, Coffee, Dairy Products, and a variety of greens, spices, & nuts. Yeah, okay, dairy products; and greens, spices, & nuts may be considered more than 2 items, but, for me they're two categories.

I'm not a vegetarian because I love meat, chicken, and fish, but if I'm working with limitations, I'm making do with the most basic of basics, while still having enough food items to concoct satisfying flavor (yeah, yeah, and nutrition, too, though according to my beliefs, "nutrition" dims and deteriorates, unless it's in the living presence of "yummy.").

Quinoa, I believe, would take care of all (or at least many) basic nutritional needs.

The way I simplify my use and preparation of Quinoa is to think of it either as rice or oatmeal, and then to "gourmet it" accordingly.

-- As "rice" I add savory herbs like parsley, basil, marjoram, garlic, onions, etc. Actually, most types of herb concoctions or side foods which could be blended with pasta would also work with Quinoa. Think of what Lidia's Italian Table does with "noodle heaven"; then substitute Quinoa for pasta (I like pasta too, of course).

-- As "oatmeal" I add sweet or rich ingredients like fruit (including raisin and date types), brown sugar, molasses, maple, creme, that type of thing.

As far as cooking instructions, to me they're basically the same as rice:

- Add water or liquid in a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 cups liquid ( water, broth, vegetable, or fruit juices) to 1 cup Quinoa. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - quinoa = the bestest supergrain!!!!
Quinoa from the grocery store is rather expensive.
Quinoa in bulk form from Angelina's fits the bill perfectly.
Angelina's Quinoa is top notch!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delicious and Nutritious
I prefer the red quinoa to the more common variety (white? brown? beige? golden?), or you can mix them for an interesting color combination. If you use no more than half of the other quinoa, the taste is almost the same. It's really easy to cook quinoa in the rice cooker: 1-1/2 cups of quinoa to 2 cups of liquid (water, chicken broth, etc.); add a little salt if you like and vóila! A delicious breakfast or a side dish for dinner.

You can get the more common color to mix when you cook: Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Quinoa, 26-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4); Eden Organic Quinoa, 16-Ounce Package (Pack of 5); Arrowhead Mills Quinoa, 14-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6); Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa, Traditional, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12); Melissa's Quinoa South American, 8-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)
