Bob's Red Mill Organic Grain Quinoa, 26-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)

Quinoa is a nutritionally complete grain -- unlike most other grains -- it has all of the essential amino acids. It cooks up like something between cous cous and rice taking on the flavor of the cooking liquid. Basically, this is an ancient grain who's time for a comeback has arrived. I haven't run any through my grain mill yet but that's coming soon so I can make bread (with a hard red winter wheat mixture).

Bob's Red Mill Quinoa is a great value from Amazon.
Quinoa is one of the best grains to eat. It has the highest content of several important nutrients and is a complete protein. It has a bit of a nutty flavor and is a great alternative to rice. It is also gluten free.

I purchased this product because I was fascinated with the history and the touted health benefits. It took nearly a month to receive and the shipping cost $9.00. The bags are very small, but a little goes a long way. The actual food product is tasty, and I recommend it as a food choice, but the average consumer would benefit much more by obtaining it locally. For those who cannot obtain quinoa in their area (like me), doing some cost-comparison shopping would probably be the best route.

Quinoa is a wonderful grain product; I recommend it to all Type 2 diabetics who cannot tolerate rice. All quinoa is not the same; this particular quinoa is very good quality.

My wife, prepared delicious dishes with this grain. Once, I age too much, but this thing is very light on your stomach. Great substitute for most of starch heavy grains. Might be particularly helpful for diabetics.
