Is $7 per lb a good price for quinoa? Brown rice is $1 lb... so this quinoa sounds very expensive.

After seeing the comment that Costco carries this, I just checked Sams Club and see that they carry the same brand for $9.98 for a 2-lb bag (Costco is a much longer drive for me). It is in-stock at my store (Indiana), but may not be in all stores.

At Walmart, a very small quantity, not even a pound goes for $9.00. At least that is what it cost a couple of years ago before I started buying it from Amazon.Every store that I have looked, the price of quinoa is very high, but I love the taste and I cannot eat grains. This is a seed and not a grain so for me, it is worth the cost because I do occasionally crave that grain like texture and taste. I would suggest that you price it in the stores because I have not shopped for it locally in a couple of years. The price may have gone down? Best wishes to you!

I've tried less expensive quinoa but the taste is not nearly as good. Rice, be it brown or white is not protein! Pure carb. Quinoa is protein packed! This Tru Roots is pre rinsed but I always rinse again. Other lesser quality quinoa is not rinsed at all or they say it's been rinsed but still tastes terrible like it's still dirty! This quinoa is absolutely worth every penny mainly because of the taste! My hubby even prefers this with meals better than rice by far! It's worth it to pay more for this quality

$7.00 a pound is high. My husband bought it ,I cooked it , we didn't like the texture. we both like rice with a little barley cooked together a lot better.

everything I have bought since starting the gluten free diet is kinda expensive. It does go a long way.

I would do it but not a large amount because it is Batsami rice is does tend to foam more as I cook it on the stove top and have to watch it closely till it simmers. Delicious and healthy. U will love it. Sure is not Uncle Bens Converted Rice! Had a rice cooker once a long time ago when I was making much to feed a crowd. Still 2 to 1 ratio. All we buy now unless I want to make brown rice or wild. Quinoa is great as well as kasha as an alternative to rice !

60 .... looked on another bag (wild rice, because these are all eaten) .... but most rice cakes are between 50-70 each. You can google it up http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice_cakes/Organic_Brown_Rice_Cakes_Lightly_Salted.aspx. I see that Quaker brand is also 60!!

it is great for quinoa, just treat it like cooking rice. It's that simple. I haven;t tried it with brown rice but I think it should be the same.However, I think you shouldn't leave cooked rice or quinoa in the rice cooker for 24 hours to keep it warm (as claimed by the company). I found it yellow my rice or quinoa. Otherwise, it's all very good.

I too wondered about this, and after some searching found what may be the best quality edible clay blend of all for about $9 per pound at Greenclays dot com. They also have the same identical edible clay as Pure Clay for under $4 per pound (compare to Pure Clay at nearly $25 per pound).

Nutrience Grain Free Cat Food,... $50.99Add to cartis there a smaller sized package that I can try anywhere? 18 lbs and $50 is a bit of a stretch to test it

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

Ah..now it is "down" to $27.99. Sorry. Not good enough. $23.40 is the price I'm looking for - and only if it adjusts back to that will I buy this food again. Even at that price it is very very expensive (although I do believe high quality) even compared to other high quality food. So nice try Amazon -- (or whoever is setting this price) -- but no cigar.

I have not tried quinoa, but it is a very fine mesh so I feel it would work perfectly.

Rice will definitely work, I haven't tried it with quinoa yet, but I believe it will. I'll have to do an ultra-scientific experiment when I get home from work, and then I'll get back to you with an answer.

This used to cost $13. Not sure why it went up so high. But there are 35lb containers at walmart for about $11-$12.

From what I have heard the prices got stupid low for a while, I remember them being about $30/lb. Then because it wasn't worth it to grow them anymore the farmers stopped and planted other things. So the supply decreased and the remaining farmers are now charging an amount that makes it worth growing for them.

I buy mine from Iherb.com and they are $7.80 each. If you buy $20.00 the shipping is free.

That's good to know! It was $5 at Whole Foods, which is kinda surprising since usually that place costs an arm and a leg!. The price went up there, it was $4.50 before, and $3 once on sale...and I bought out everything....Yeah, I've tried the seventh generation stuff as well, but wasn't too happy with them. Thanks for your response!

Sure... Use your quinoa recipe to determine water to quinoa ratio (and any other ingredients that are called for). Then, follow the instructions for white rice and open the top, to find out if the water has all been absorbed. Based on the amount of quinoa, water, and whether you wash the quinoa 3x, times will vary. Once you get the timeframe that fits your recipe, you cana make a note of it for the next time. Just cancel, when done...
