Organic Quinoa (5lb) by Naturevibe Botanicals, Gluten-Free & Non-GMO | Chenopodium quinoa | Rich in Protein, Iron & Fiber.

Recent studies found that a substance called ectdysterone is the testosterone like version in insects. It has also been found in small quantities in some foods and products like spinach, creatine and quinoa. A couple of research studies used quinoa as the substrate since it has a relatively high amount of this anabolic compound and found that it actually outperformed some steroids! As little as 12 mg of ectdysterone was found to greatly boost anabolic response for muscle growth. You can get this amount in less than a cup of quinoa. It is legal in tested sports but the only substance currently on the Olympic doping watch list and unlikely to get banned since it is in natural food.I am on my second bag and noticed a strength difference within a week or so. I was not a big fan of quinoa until I ran across the benefit but found by microwaving with some instant oats in water and then adding protein powder and some fruit make it palatable. I also add a little kefir for added flavor, protein and thickness. Its like crunching on bb's but the taste is mild otherwise. It is one of the only complete plant proteins that contain all the amino acids and has some protein so it makes for a great addition to a bodybuilders pre and or post workout regimen.My only reservation is the source but the distributor claims it is organic and tested and the price is the best I could find in quantity. Give it a try and skip the idea of eating bugs.

Delicious and fresh! I finally found the place to purchase quinoa. Thank you Amazon!

I'd buy this product again. It's tasty and organic, both good qualities. Unfortunately, the plastic bag container had a puncture in it when we received it. It was packaged inside an Amazon box which was not damaged in any way. Our postmistress had quite a mess of quinoa on the floor of the post office. If we hadn't been completely out of it, I guess I would have returned it. All in all, the quality of the product is as expected.

This is the best tasting, easiest to cook and best result even when you add a bit too much water. I provided a picture of the latest batch I cooked and I added a bit too much water. Yet, it still has a good consistency, very forgiving. So very easy to cook that is a joy. In the other hand we purchased a different brand from Canada and it's just way too mushy. The one from Canada taste good just not good for dishes like Spanish style or Onion flavor as the one pictured. The price NatureVibe Botanicals was also the lowest I ever paid, just under 15 bucks. I would highly recommend this Brand and we have purchased quite a few brands over the years. If you are interest on the Mushy Brand purchased here at Amazon here it is: NorQuin Golden Quinoa. We use the NorQuin more as a Porridge like food for breakfast, hate wasting. Enjoy!

My husband and I love quinoa. We decided to try this brand- Amazing price for organic quinoa! I cooked a double batch (4 cups water) bring to boil, add 2 cups of rinsed/drained quinoa. (PS sometimes quinoa can have a bitter coating- don't know if this did or did not, but I rinsed it thoroughly for a good 3 or 4 mins). Bring to boil (about 15 seconds), add cover turn to low for 20 minutes. Take pot off heat and let sit with cover still on for 10/15 mins or until you get around to it. I left mine sitting there for an hour or two until I could get everything else done. You can halve this but my husband devours quinoa salad, so I make bigger batches. We often eat it plain, but also often doctor it up with cucumber, red pepper, lemon juice salt and pepper. Sometimes I will throw in some lentils or chick peas for other texture. Amazing! Very al dente- not mushy at all. Really enjoyed this brand/source.

Initially I was not happy with this quinoa because when I purchased it I had confused it with white quinoa. After consuming most of the bag I have actually come to prefer this over white quinoa. .... This is NOT white quinoa. This is whole seed quinoa and it cooks like black and or red quinoa which take longer to cook. This quinoa has a slightly nuttier taste than white quinoa and I find it more filling than white quinoa as well. This also has a slightly less fluffy or heavier, more compact consistency after being cooked than white quinoa does. ....... So buyer beware. If you are looking for white quinoa do not buy this product or you will not get what you wanted.

Very good quality for an affordable price I make it in a Dash Rice Cooker with a 1 cup of water to a half cup of grains. The only negative I can say is, the package is a 5 lb. bag that does not reseal. Before you open it up, make sure you have enough air tight containers to hold that amount of product. I held back 1 star for the packaging, not the quality of the product.

We eat a lot of quinoa in my house. This huge bag saved me some money in comparison to the small bags offered by my local grocery store. I prefer red quinoa, but this white is so versatile, it mixes well with all of my meal prep recipes 😋

I go along with some review below. It means I try to cook Chenopodium quinoa by several methods but it was almost inedible. So I'm basically stuck with it.

Love it. Good for you and good for the price
