CEREAUSLY Organic Red Quinoa – Premium Royal Quinoa from Bolivia – Kosher and Non-GMO Quinoa Bulk – Vegan and Gluten-Fee Cooking Quinoa – 4 LB

I LOVE red quinoa! It has a mild, nutty flavor—I think it's more flavorful than white quinoa (have never tried the black.) When purchased in bulk, this is the best the price I've seen for organic red quinoa. This was purchased several months ago—I cooked at least a dozen batches before reviewing. I've used many brands and this red quinoa is among the best. Most often, we use quinoa as a green salad topping. After quinoa is cooked, I add a few dashes of Bragg Liquid Aminos (or organic soy sauce), and some olive oil. Often, I add fresh, finely-minced garlic and diced onions (any variety). Other ingredients that work in a side dish (good served either warm or chilled): fresh, diced tomatoes thinly-sliced mushrooms, any variety grated carrots fresh chopped broccoli Red quinoa is a wonderful substitute for wheat bulgur in your favorite tabouli/tabbouleh recipe, and of course, it's gluten free! Quinoa's slightly nutty and relatively-neutral flavor makes it versatile, so can be combined with many types of fresh vegetables. I've never tried it with fruit, but imagine it would work well with firm fruits such as apples or papaya. For those concerned about bugs or worms in the product: I saw no signs of that in the bag, but to avoid it during storage, I always mix a little food-grade diatomaceous earth in with the top layer of dry quinoa (works with other grain and seeds). The DE washes off when you rinse the quinoa prior to cooking. At any rate, food-grade DE is not harmful and some people use it internally for detox. I highly recommend this red quinoa! We are a two-person household, but because we love red quinoa and eat it often, this bulk purchase was a great choice.

Great quality and well worth buying.

Great flavor and price

This is the best Red Quinoa that I have seen so far. It is brightly colored and much more textural than other Red Quinoa that I have purchased. I prepare in an Instant Pot pressure cooker. I always rinse under cold running water for 2-3 minutes. Place in the cooker and add 14 oz of water or broth. We cook for 14 minutes and then let it rest for 10 minutes, then do a quick release. We enjoy it hot or cold. We find that the Red Quinoa has a nuttier texture that holds up better in cold dishes like salads as opposed to white quinoa. This Red Quinoa is fresh and flavorful and I have added it to my Subscribe and Save orders to ensure that we don't run out. It has many health benefits as well. Highly Recommended!

This was my first purchase of Cereausly red quinoa and will not be my last. It arrived in an undamaged, heavy-duty, paper bag appropriate for a 25-lb. quantity. I plan to purchase this quantity again when I finish this bag. I much prefer the nuttier texture and heartier taste of the red quinoa to the white, which I had consumed before buying the red. I plan to use it in salads and to mix it with the white as a substitute for a starchy dish (e.g., brown rice). A very small proportion of white quinoa seeds are mixed with the red, but I have not found the proportion objectionable as have some other reviewers. I am unable to detect the texture or taste of the white seeds. Moreover, while I might be able to find pure red in small packages, I would not wish to pay the difference in price per pound for it, as I plan to consume a lot of red quinoa. For convenience, I emptied the bag into 8 2-qt. mason jars (the equivalent of about 4 gal. by volume). (Others might use 4 1-gal. plastic containers or large plastic bins, but I prefer to store my foods (seeds, fresh greens, or cooked leftovers) in glass containers.) The jars (or other containers of one's choice) allow me to take advantage of the lower cost per pound of the 25-lb. bag. The quinoa is easily dispensed from the jars, which, with their airtight seal, protect the quinoa from pests and moisture. I use the jars in various sizes (2-qt. to 4 oz.) for storing other edible dry goods as well.

Quinoa arrived fresh and tasted great once cooked. The sealed bag was convenient and actually works right! Easy to prepare!

Tastes fresh, great flavor. Arrived on time. Packaged securely and properly. We love quinoa! So versatile and nutritious! Red quinoa has a bit of a chewier texture to it The red color looks beautiful when plated. I use it in meatless dishes a lot. Great in chili, in salads, and my favorite is mixed with pesto or basil, mozzerella balls, raw or roasted cherry tomatoes, basalmic reduction, and parm. So freaking delicious! It is a big bag, but it is the best quality red quinoa and the best value for my money that I have found. None goes to waste. You can also cook big batches for meal planning, and you can also freeze cooked quinoa and have it for quick meals when you low on time but still want to eat healthy.
