(25 Lb) QUINOA WHITE ROYAL ORGANIC

This is great quinoa at a really good price. The quinoa arrived packaged in a box, and inside the box was the bag you see in the picture. I was a little leery at first about not rinsing before using, but that's what I did - and the quinoa really doesn't need washing! :) Also, there is no chaff in it, like there was in the last bag I ordered (from a DIFFERENT seller). This quinoa is very clean.My granddaughter requested quinoa for her birthday supper, and it turned out perfectly. If the recipe calls for cooked quinoa, I have a different way of cooking it that works well for me. I measure the quinoa and water (and salt if using) into a saucepan and turn it to high (medium if you are using water-less cookware). When the water is boiling, I reduce the heat slightly, set the timer for five minutes and continue boiling and stirring until the five minutes is up. Then I cover with a tight-fitting lid and take the pan off the burner. I let it sit for 20 minutes while I am doing the rest of the meal and then fluff with a fork. This method has never failed me. I get perfect quinoa every time.Our whole family loves quinoa! The nutty taste and the texture have us coming back for more over and over again. It's a good thing that it's so healthy for one - and a complete protein for those of use who don't eat a lot of meat. As a side note, I am diabetic. Quinoa is one of the few grains that doesn't shoot my blood sugar up.As far as this seller is concerned, I will be back when this bag is used up. :)

So I've bought the 25lb bag 2 times now and the price is the best I've found so far. Even better than Costco, since they've raised the prices of their 4 pound bags from 8 dollars several years ago to 16-19 dollars now. I've bought many different brands of quinoa in the past and this brand I would say is just ok. It gets 3.5 stars from me because of the fantastic price, but on many occasions Ive bitten down on tiny little clear rocks that blend in with the quinoa. I almost chipped my tooth on one of the rocks. This is not an infrequent occurrence and you will encounter the same thing. Its extremely annoying and I have to be careful when chewing. If I can find another brand that is similarly priced per pound or a little more I will be switching on the next order. I feel like anything under 3 dollars a pound is a very good deal.

I was giving this Quinoa a try as they had 25 lb bulk packaging. While just looking, it seems completely fine but when you cook and eat, you will bite large number of stones. This is disgusting specially after paying almost $70 for a bag of Quinoa. I never felt stones in any other brands of Quinoa before. To get some idea about the number of stones, I took few cups of Quinoa in a large plate and looked very carefully for stones. I found around 10 stones (picture attached). Still after cooking I was feeling stones. Next time, I tried to filter stones using water in a small container. While doing so I found 5 stones in just one cup of Quinoa (picture attached). This is horrible and I am not eating this anymore. If that many stones are in few cups, imagine how much in the whole bag.!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT !!!

Very disappointed with this product!! Started using this about a week ago and found biting into tiny transparent plastic/glass pieces. The pieces are of the same size as the quinoa grains. This is frustrating - the first time I found one of them I thought it was an accidental mix up on my part... but today was the 4th time I am finding these glass peice. I am not sure how to return this opened bag!

Product has tiny rocks that you can't see while handling the Quinoa but you will be surprised while chewing it (so annoying), also it has debris all around, seller noted that the debris is harmless and natural but it just not taste/look right. Since seller has different batches of product I will recommend that you check if your quinoa is well pre-washed (sometimes is not). Finally If you look for affordable organic quinoa maybe this will be for you, be aware you will be paying for quantity not 100% quality.

I was really excited to try this Quinoa 1) because I love quinoa and 2) because it is a crazy good deal.I am really disappointed because every time I cook it and eat it, I end up biting in to rock and dirt pieces. I bought it in July and hoped that after eating a little more off the top that it would get better, but I was wrong. In fact, I think the number of rocks and dirt clods is getting worse. I tried to sift them out, but the rocks are the same color as the quinoa. :(Are there any tips or tricks to fix this problem? I definitely don't want to break a tooth.

The quinoa is tasty and we store it in the bag on the shelf. Unfortunately about every 2 or 3 servings we get at least one small stone that feels like they're eventually going to break somebody's tooth. My daughter and wife don't want to eat quinoa any more because of the stones in this quinoa.11/22/17 UPDATE: Product service responded to my comment by sending me a free bag of quinoa and assurance the stone problem has been fixed. Will update when we eat this bag.

Our family of five (three kids) go through a #25 bag of quinoa every three months and this is not only one of the very best tasting brands we have used but also one of the most affordable when purchased in bulk. Quinoa is a superfood if there ever was such a thing and it provides a lot of nutrition including a full-spectrum source of protein amino acids as well as a lot of gut-friendly antioxidants and other compounds. By simply replacing traditional grains/rice from the Standard American diet with quinoa you are taking a huge step towards improved health and nutrition.

Love this quinoa, super yummy!!! Didn't think that I would actually go through this giant bag so fast, can't wait to get some more.

great price, the taste is good too.

The product is delicious and the overall quality is great for the price. When comparing price to big name retailers such as Costco this quinoa is cheaper and of equal or better quality.

Super fast delivery and the quinoa tastes great! Will order more when this is all gone!

I bought this as a gift and although it's size is completely absurd, it was well received.
