Healthy alternative to white rice!!

Excellent quality and 1/3rd the price I pay at other stores. I've become a quinoa addict which I feel is a lot better than being a white rice addict lol. I am indian born and can say that Indian curries taste quite good with quinoa. I also am cooking quinoa along with Amaranth and it still tastes great.

I love rice krispy treats but not the marshmallow ingredient they are made with.  Finally!!  I found a healthy tasty alternative!  I bet kids will like them too!  Feels like I'm cheating when I eat them, lol

If you are looking at buying quinoa, you probably already know that it's good for you, but you may be questioning how the heck you can actually EAT it! :) Quinoa makes an excellent substitute for rice, but you can do so much more with this "superfood!" For breakfast, you can easily incorporate this grain into pancakes, muffins or you can even eat it like you would a bowl of oatmeal (with maple syrup, nuts, berries, or whatever your favorite add-ins are). It incorporates very well into most soaps, stews and pasta salads, and there are literally hundreds of recipes online for making all kinds of desserts with quinoa, everything from pudding, to dessert bars, to quinoa chocolate cake!

Personally, one of my favorite ways to use quinoa is to mix it into veggie burgers! The quinoa really gives them a nice texture and helps to hold the burgers together, plus it is considered a complete protein source and you get 24g of protein per (uncooked) cup of quinoa. This recipe from Can You Stay for Dinner has been by-far the best quinoa burger recipe I have tried so far (apologies in advance for the all caps), but I usually double it for my family of 5 so we (usually) have leftovers! :) I also sub red onions for scallions and often throw in some red and/or green sweet peppers as well!

These cook up so well and everyone in my family - from my 20 month old son, to my 6 & 8 year old daughters and even my carnivorous husband all gobble these burgers up! :)

I really like that the Nutria White Quinoa is certified-organic and it comes nicely sealed in a bag so I don't have to worry about all of the sticky kid (and adult!) hands that may have come in contact with it like I do when I buy it in bulk from the health food store! :) It does come in a resealable bag which is nice for storage. The only thing it's really missing is a freshness date, but I may have overlooked it. Complimentary sample provided to test, evaluate and honestly review.

The taste is fairly neutral and takes on the flavors of what I cook it with.  I am on a low carb healthy fat diet and was really missing my rice.  This is a nice substitute.

I had a nice coupon off for these, so I bought a tin of them at the market a few weeks ago. I noticed the tin in the cupboard today and decided to have them for luncheon as I wanted something different. I simply put them in a covered pyrex dish and popped it the microwave for four minutes. They are delicious! I keep cooked rice on hand at all times. I make my rice with the Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix to give the rice some flavour. After tasting these beans today, I decided they would be great over rice, so I popped some rice into the microwave for a couple of minutes, and then I spooned the beans over the rice. Heavenly!

The beans over the rice tastes so good, that I would not even hesitate to serve them to a guest who is also vegetarian. Warmed in a pot on the stove top and then ladled over rice, I think I could pass these beans off as homemade. Definitely plan to repurchase them. They will become a staple in my pantry from now on. As a huge bonus, beans are naturally very healthy and high in protein. Very happy with these very flavourful beans. : )

I have changed to a healthier way of eating so I had to give up white rice which as a Hispanic, is a basic staple in our diet. I found this rice in a discount store once and I liked it much better than the more commonly sold long grain. I find this short grain cooks a lot softer than the long and medium grain rice. Amazon sold this for about the same price as Bob's Red River but without the exorbitant shipping charges. I was thrilled to be able to use the super saver shipping option which shipped for $-0-.  You can find everything on Amazon.com. Makes my life much easier.

A wonderful alternative to gardein and other soy meats. I have only tried the Mexican one so far, and it was delish in my burrito!

If you are looking for a recipe book to use your rice cooker with, look no further. I am super happy with the easy recipes and not hard to find ingredients.  I do have the fuzzy logic rice cooker which the book mentions for many recipes, but I think a regular rice cooker would work fine too.  Makes eating healthy grains a breeze and my family loves it!

I can't believe I didn't know this product existed until now ... fully-cooked heat & eat white rice! What a perfect pantry essential for a housebound senior citizen with mobility issues (like me) who can't stand up any more to cook or wash a pot in the kitchen. I've got a microwave on my desk in the study and have to make my own meals once or twice a day while my husband is at work. Annie Chun's white sticky rice is delicious and satisfying ... and I LOVE IT. I'm back today to order another six-pack so I won't ever run out. (I keep restaurant-style soy sauce packets in my desk. Rice and soy sauce makes me so happy!)

Use it in place of rice and really like the product. It fills you up and doesnt give the blood sugar spike like rice does.

This is a great,affordable rice mix from Mahatma,it's easy to prepare and tastes great!!! I usually serve this tasty rice w/ grilled chicken but it's also great just by itself!!! I sometimes just cook up a pack and make it my lunch!!! I'm getting hungry just writing this review!!!

Tried these a few months ago when I was at a Trader Joe's store.  I didn't think there'd be all that much difference, but BOY was I happily surprised (it's now my favorite rice)!!!

Awesome healthy snack. I'm not a fan of rice cakes, but these are excellent! You get a little sweet and salty.

Great healthy way to consume fiber and it is quite smooth mixed with boiling water from my hot pot.  I actually prefer the banana flavor regular version for taste and because it is less money than this one.  I don't like that it recommends using 3 tablespoons of it because you use it up faster, but more is needed in this version to keep you regular.  The other one recommends 1 tablespoon and I only need 1 or 2 of it each morning to produce the desired effect.  Highly recommend both products though.  Health benefits at reducing my cholesterol by 30 points in less than 4 months made me and  my doctor quite happy!

Great alternative to using soy, which is something I work to avoid at all costs!  Tastes amazing!

I was a bit hesitant to try this product.  Black rice?  But, having read about its nutritional benefits, I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did.  It has a wonderful texture, chew and flavor and works well as a stand alone side dish or as part of a main dish.  White rice won't be back on our table again any time soon.

With the help of this book I've finally made the perfect white rice and beans! I have been trying to make rice since I was 15 (I'm 22 now) and I've always been unsuccessful....until now! I am so happy! There are so many recipes that remind me of my childhood and growing up with Caribbean - Spanish food. So happy I found this cookbook! Will definitely recommend.
