This is the third brand of Quinoa seeds that I have had after Costco truroots and Viva Labs. I like the Quinoa seeds by Sprouted Seed Co by far the best. Quinoa benefits are common knowledge now. As soon as I opened the packet, it smelled like Quinoa. I cooked 2 cups of quinoa with 4 cups of water. Just towards the end, it seemed like it needed 1 more cup of water. And then it was so fluffy the next day too. I used the cooked Quinoa in Aloo cutlet/tikki  . If you heard of the Quinoa masala burger liked by the Obamas, then you can now make it too starting with the Quinoa. I had it with curries too and liked it. If you have a Quinoa novice who is convinced of Quinoa's benefits but is not able to get over the nutty flavour, then Quinoa Seeds by Sprouted Seed Co is your best bet.

For a friends birthday I decided to make a cake from one of the recipes she forwarded for  Quinoa chocolate cake . It called for zucchini. But I dont have them. Instead I used Butternut Squash . And why not, look at this butternut squash cake profile .

I liked this brand quinoa better than the one I had at whole foods. It doesnt have any funny taste.  Cooked it with broccoli and water in a rice cooker.
