My first time to try quinoa... it was kind of tricky to wash as some grains would float as im trying to drain off the water. The yield is more than white rice.. half cup uncooked quinoa yielded enough fo hubby and me. I super love white rice but i find quinoa a better substitute than brown rice. The grains are fluffier and go down easier :) plus cooking time is quicker than brown rice. I just pop it on the rice cooker. This brand is also cheaper than what i see in grocery stores. Will buy again.
4 months agoIt doesn't really taste like anything and the grains are super small. This is the first quinoa I've tried though. I am really surprised with the servings. 1/4 cup of this is like 1 cup of cooked quinoa already. And if you're an average eater like me that would be enough for you. Because of the amount of servings, I think 500 pesos is worth it. :) I would like it better if it came out fluffier though. Not sure if I could get fluffier quinoa by trying other kinds of quinoa or I just need to try this again and add more water? haha
8 months agoIf you're looking for a great rice alternative, quinoa is the answer. It tastes almost the same (add a pinch of salt for great taste) and is so much better for you. When I eat quinoa I'm full for longer and I feel better overall. I noticed that my skin also looks much tighter and healthier once I dropped the white rice and switched to this. It's also pretty easy to prepare
9 months agoIt's 2018 and I vowed to myself that I would stop eating rice. It was difficult at first. I tried oatmeal, but it has limited options in variety of taste. I tried Quinoa as an alternative for savory food and it's great! I'm still looking for recipes online to add variety in prepping this. Thank you, BeautyMNL!
