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

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!

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.

This is good quality quinoa at a good bulk price. The package is easily resealable to prevent bugs. It cooks well with a nice consistency and nutty aroma.

I love the size of this bag, it's definitely cost efficient compared to what's available in stores. We're on our second bag and love the taste

I've been buying Viva Naturals Organic Quinoa for a months now, and I’m really impressed with the quality! The 4 lb size is perfect for my family, and it’s so versatile. I love using it as a substitute for rice or pasta in different dishes, and it makes a great base for quinoa salads. The texture is great, and it cooks up perfectly every time. I also appreciate that it’s USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan—making it a great option for various dietary preferences. The quinoa has a nice nutty flavor and is packed with protein, fiber, and iron, which makes it a healthy addition to my meals. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it’s a little more expensive compared to other quinoa brands, but the quality definitely makes up for it. Overall, I’m very happy with this product and will continue buying it!

I will order more. We love quinoa. Good for you as well.

Years ago I tried white/yellow quinoa and didn't like it. I did like the red quinoa however, so have been using only red or a mixed-color pack since. Out of curiosity I tried this brand. It tastes great! I will be purchasing it again as a way to add variety to meals. Fresh. Easy to cook. GF. Complete protein source. Great with veggies.

I just had to share my experience with this quinoa – it's truly a game-changer! From the moment I ordered, I was impressed. The delivery was incredibly quick, arriving even sooner than I expected, which is always a huge plus. But let's talk about the quinoa itself. The taste is genuinely outstanding. It's got that perfect slightly nutty, earthy flavor, and the texture is just right – fluffy and not mushy at all. I've tried numerous other brands in the past, and honestly, this one blows them all out of the water. There's a noticeable difference in quality and flavor that sets it apart. Beyond the delicious taste, I'm particularly thrilled with its nutritional benefits. As someone who pays attention to blood sugar, I can confidently say this quinoa gives a low GI spike. It provides sustained energy without the usual crash, making it an ideal choice for healthy and satisfying meals. If you're looking for a superior quinoa that tastes fantastic, arrives quickly, and offers excellent health benefits, look no further. This brand has earned a permanent spot in my pantry!
