REVIEW:
Four wheat’s …ORGANIC + FAIR TRADE
O.K. It is true I could not pronounce Quinoa for the life of me six months ago. Now the word + the grain are my new best friends. Today we cooked this product + we give this yummy spaghetti the four wheat rating.
O.K. It is true I could not pronounce Quinoa for the life of me six months ago. Now the word + the grain are my new best friends. Today we cooked this product + we give this yummy spaghetti the four wheat rating.
Why?
1.The cooking directions are accurate …we always put in a pinch of salt into the boiling water …in this case we used Hawaiian salt + olive oil from Costco.
2. The texture is firm yet pliable + believe it or not you would have a difficult time telling this quinoa product from our beloved wheat products.
3. We like this company’s story on the back of the box where we used to get all our important information before the incredible internet world.
THEIR story…as told to us on the back of the box…ORGANIC ROYAL QUINOA grown only in the Bolivian Andes @ an altitude of 13,000 feet by 280 families + there is a very sweet smallish picture of a Bolivian farming couple who look like the real deal.

Taste: Quinoa pasta has a very clean taste to it. Taste isn’t so much an issues as texture is because most pastas are pretty bland in flavor. This pasta has great texture.
Labeling: The labeling on this packaging is very simple. On the front, is just the brand and type of pasta; no unnecessary jibber jabber. On the back is a nice background story on the quinoa grain and how the grain is grown in the Bolivian Andes at an elevation of 13,000, which they claim is where the finest quality of quinoa is grown.
Packaging: Good packaging as it is made out of paper, which can be recycled.
Reader’s Reviews: Please share with us your review of this company’s other products + where you purchased the product + how long you have been using this product. Please no review from the family + friends of the company producing the product.
