It's a great deal and the quinoa is super tasty. Unfortunately, the bag was opened and grains of quinoa were all over the box when it was delivered =(

GoPicnic's Tasty Treats Gluten-Free Care Package sounds expensive, weighing in at 1.76 pounds for about $18, but there are so many reasons it's a great value.  First, it comes in a sturdy ready-to-mail box that's easy to open and use and reuse.  Second, if you don't have time to put together your own 'care package' for your college student (or anyone else), this solves the problem with healthy snacks that happen to be gluten-free without being boring.  Third, if you look longingly at the honor bar in your hotel room but don't want to take out a loan to use it, this package is an incredible substitute. The individually-packaged items tucked within are elegant in looks and, mostly, in taste.  They aren't your little brother's Twinkies and Cheese Whiz; this box provides plenty of snacks that provide a nice mix of protein and carbs.  You won't fall asleep from a sugar high, and you'll enjoy yourself immensely.

The Baja Fruit and Nut Blend was delicious, and the gummy fruit snacks were far superior to regular gummies, both in taste and texture; they are less chewy and much juicier.  We inhaled them.

There are 'BBQ Popchips' -- nicely spiced round potato chips that i'd happily eat again.  But the cracked pepper cassava chips weren't too exciting. They look and sound exotic, but that was because I wasn't familiar with cassava. Turns out it's at least as common as potatoes and the taste was similar, but with a heavier texture.  It you like thick potato chips, you may like these quite a bit.  The cracked  pepper is just the right spice.

The only item we really didn't care for was the box of chocolate and vanilla bunny cookies.  I suspect the lack of gluten made them mildly disgusting. They had very little taste, but the aftertaste refused to go away.

The Cinnabon Almonds more than made up for the bunny cookies. Oh lordy, they were amazingly tasty.

Finally, the care package includes a meal consisting of a turkey stick, three-bean salad, Crunch snack and dried apricots. Loved the apricots and the Crunch.  The three-bean salad, which includes its own little spork and a packet of unremarkable dressing, was good, probably great if you're into beans.  The only thing I disliked was the turkey stick.  While the flavor was excellent - it tasted like a spicy stick of less-healthy meat - the grainy, pasty texture was too much for me. My mate chomped his half down - he didn't hate the mouth-feel as much as I did. I gave the rest of my half to our cats.  It failed miserably as a feline treat, but one of them thought it made a great toy. (In fact, he played fetch with it until it was so disgusting that we put it out for the 'possum, who thought it was fantastic.)

This is a product you won't be embarrassed to bring out in front of anyone, anywhere.  There are many other GoPicnic care packages to choose from too. The two I've tried are excellent and I'd absolutely recommend this for a gift or an alternate to the honor bar.

The cheesy jalape&ntilde;o flavor is delicious and what a great price for these -- I keep a bunch in my desk at work and it saves me lots of money at the vending machines, where I would easily end up paying at least double.

Quinoa is my favorite favorite side dish, I have a plant based diet, and I eat quinoa everyday. So I have tried just about every brand of quinoa I can find.  It seems expensive but 1 cup dry makes enough for a family of 4.

How Healthworks Quinoa is different:
I prepared the quinoa as it was directed, except I always use my rice maker, I rinsed twice and then put 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water in my rice cooker.  It must be extremely fresh because It ended up being really light and fluffy.  The last quinoa I made (2 nights ago) was not this fluffy.  It looked beautiful. Next the taste test. Quinoa has a bitter flavor that usually goes away if it washed thoroughly before eating.  There is only one brand of quinoa I have found that is pre-washed, such a bummer! I can still usually taste the bitterness in the flavor even after washing, but with this quinoa, I didn't taste it at all.  I love quinoa so much that I eat it plain most of the time, no oil or salt, so today I was so excited to get the health works quinoa in the mail that I went ahead and cooked a pot up without anything to go with it and it was so tasty and fluffy and delicious that I am having seconds right now!

 So this gets high marks from me because it cooks well, and its tasty, what more could you want?  Oh yeah-ORGANIC and from Peru!! Oh and since its a 4 lb bag the next question is how will I store this much of it?  It comes in a plastic bag with a flat bottom that sits nicely on the shelf without falling over, and a zip lock on the top that actually works. Yep, it zips tightly and its a nice thick one, so I feel like it will actually stay sealed so I don't have to keep it in another tupperware like I do with my other quinoa.  The bag is good size but not too big to fit nicely on the shelf. Yes I couldn't be more pleased, or more full at the moment!

I hope this review helped, if so please click YES! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will try my best to answer. I received this quinoa at a discounted price in exchange for testing and writing my honest opinion in a review.

A few years back I had never even heard of Quinoa until my daughter who's determined I should live forever started me on it. And I love it. The history in this book is a nice touch, but the recipes are what really shine. I've been using a few recipes I had on hand but this book has got a lot I had never even dreamed of before. My favorite is to cook it the night before and eat it cold the next morning. It gets a great nutty taste from sitting the fridge all night. Get this book and sneak nutrition into your families diet. They will love you for it.

We had never tried quinoa before. Too bad we waited so long because this stuff is great. We use it in every thing as well as by itself. It's delicious.

Delicious! Can't beat the price on this package.

We find this bread to be very tasty and enjoy it for sandwiches or toast.  It's dense but not heavy, which means that it has enough protein to keep you full until your next meal.  Because it's just the two of us, we keep the loaves in the freezer and pull out only what we'll need for a meal.  The price is so high, though. It's like consuming gold!

Delicious quinoa at one of the best, if not the best price on Amazon. I eat this every week in many of my meals. I do not rinse off the quinoa, like other brands of quinoa need to. Great product.

We eat quinoa once a week as a family for the last few years. We've tried many kinds, but here's what I love about this one:

1. It doesn't' need to be rinsed.
2. It holds up well and doesn't become mushy too fast after it's cooked (can't say the same for some other brands).
3. The flavor is excellent.

Cons? There are none.

I purchased this multi-pack after purchasing another brand of Kaniwa. I still love the flavor, easy to cook, but be careful! The grains are the size of chunky sand particles, so store and measure carefully.
It smells a bit fishy to me while cooking, but has a pleasant nutty flavor and is sweeter than quinoa to me. I eat this every morning with a scoop of pea protein powder, coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and dash of cardamom and nutmeg, sometimes dried fruit bits too. It's delicious and nutritious!

I bought 10 cases (so 60 pounds) for about $43 after shipping from Bob's site (the price is no longer available, and no, I did not share the site when that price was available, nor did I sell any of this oatmeal), and let's just say myself and many family members and friends are more than happy. Bob's Red Mill may not be happy but let it be known that I am not profiteering and now there are many, many more fans of this oatmeal than otherwise existed previously; a dozen people have received a 24-ounce bag as a gift, and they all RAVE about the flavor. A local Big Lots was selling 3 pound (give or take a couple ounces, I can't recall exactly) bags for $5 or so, which in and of itself was a pretty good deal.

This stuff is great, and let me tell you, if you like a naturally-flavored food, this is it. Earthy is a term I use; a flavor some dislike, but others absolutely crave in their natural foods. This stuff is filling, and a little bit goes a long way. It's good for people who are not necessarily the best early-morning eaters. Cooks great in the crock pot overnight, and even better is that once one cooks it in that fashion it makes THE BEST fried oatmeal (if you fancy such a thing). The best part is, I've had trouble with digestion of a certain brand of more-processed oatmeal-based flours, and this has proven itself to be great for my health regardless of preparation (I plan on using some of this to make oat flour for cooking). I can't help but wonder if the problem with some products may have more to do with additives than processing itself, but I really do not know.

This is my second time purchasing this particular brand of quinoa. This brand is very clean and cooks well.  Some other brands have some chaff mixed in, but not this.  The taste is good as quinoa goes.  I plan to buy this again because the price is reasonable for an organic quinoa product.  I'd recommend it to anyone.

This marzipan is very tasty but I ate so much that I don't have a desire for it for a while.  When I do, this, will be the first place I get it since it is fresh, delicious and cheaper than the store.

I took advantage of the terrific price they had for this food, in the  $30s. I bought 3 bags. Was going to buy more but the price had already started going up again. Usually this food is well over $60 and I don't buy it anymore. The food itself is excellent quality. I also feed Acana

I have to admit that I have never used semolina from other brands, so I may be a bit bias. But this stuff is incredible. Makes for absolutely delicious pasta and bread. And the price is very cheap. At the whole foods near me they are asking 8 bucks for 1 bag, while this is a pack of 4 bags for 12. Package I received was fairly fresh. Expiration is Jan 2017, while I received it Nov 2015.
