really good
used it to make tabouleh and it was really great. I'd not made quinoa before so I thought I'd 'cheat' this time rather than use the dried stuff, it was so easy and tasty might cheat more often!

Really, really good
I've cooked quinoa quite a few times but fancied trying this as its much quicker and contains the mix of white and red. First bite was strange but then it just became super moreish! Had it with chilli this time instead of rice and just bought some more to make some salads and also to have in the cupboard. Definitely a staple and its just sooooo good for you!

Great for Coeliac's
I was given this whilst on holiday for the first time and it has become a favourite. Lovely texture with a slightly nutty taste. makes a nice change from rice and very quick and easy to use. Like another reviewer, I often use over two days as it keeps well in the fridge.

Disappointing - unpleasant taste
I ordered this when Ocado was a bit thin on raw quinoa. In the end I bought raw quinoa and cooked that first, which was delicious. When I heated up this precooked quinoa as instructed, in its packet, the flavour was strange and unpleasant - it tasted cupboard-y for want of a better word, not like food but like something storage related. I realised it must be the taste of the packet. Perhaps its better if you just serve it chilled straight out of the packet, rather than cooking it in the packet. But we hated the packet-cooked stuff and threw it away.
