## Description

About Norquin NorQuin, based in Saskatchewan Canada, is a technology-driven, vertically integrated supplier of quinoa and quinoa derivative products. It has been developing high-yielding, novel varieties of quinoa for more than 20 years that are optimal for Canada’s growing regions. The Company only breeds non-GMO varietals that can be grown and traced back to the farm. Quinoa has a very strong label appeal for consumers due to its complete protein profile containing all nine essential amino acids humans need. You can learn more at quinoa.com. What Is Quinoa? Quinoa (Keen-wa) is an amino acid (protein) rich seed that has a fluffy, creamy, slightly crunchy texture and a somewhat nutty flavor when cooked. Most commonly considered a grain, quinoa is actually a relative of leafy green vegetables like spinach and swiss chard. Quinoa seeds are a recently rediscovered ancient “grain” once considered “The Gold of the Incas.

## Features

- Nutty Flavor & Heartier Texture: NorQuin’s Golden Quinoa is different from white or red quinoa, with a nutty flavor & a heartier texture that's more like rice than other quinoa. Use it in recipes instead of rice for a gluten free, whole grain option that's a complete protein.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and cook them the recommended way!
*by J***B on August 6, 2017*

Be sure to read the directions, and cook them the recommended way!! I messed up at first cooking them like normal quinoa. This is a different kind of quinoa than I typically find in the grocery store. Tastes the same, cooks differently. However the recommended cooking process (cook in boiling water and strain like noodles) is way easier so I came to like this better than typical quinoa.

### ⭐ Pasty wet mess after cooking
*by S***R on June 6, 2017*

I purchased this product without any reviews, mainly because it was Canadian and priced well. I cooked it as I usually do for quinoa using the usual quinoa to water proportion. However, it turned wet, pasty and slimy after cooking. A second cooking cycle didn't help to make it dryer. I then read the bag and it states that it should be cooked like pasta. Seems pretty inconvenient. Sucks that I have an almost full bag as well as an unopened bag. On a positive note, the taste wasn't bad (if you ignore the slimy).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too expensive online but I LOVE the product!
*by L***E on April 28, 2021*

If your turned off by the bad reviews don't be! You just need to know how to handle this stuff.The first time I encountered this I was a little stumped. Bought this at a box store in the height of COVID because everything else I'm not allergic to had been sold out for months.First batch fixed per usual method was a disaster, second batch per directions was still a disaster just slightly less so.First tip RINSE it VERY well. This stuff is the most poorly processed quinoa I've ever had but bear with me its worth it in the end.The way I choose to use this is like how you'd use a short grain rice. Risotto, rice pudding, ect because it's loaded with amylopectin (the stuff that makes tapioca.... Well tapioca).I use a 1:4 ratio. So for instance for "rice" pudding I use 1 cup quinoa to 4 cups coconut milk and cook per the usual merhod (all ingredients on the pot bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes). Raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla YUMMM!As soon as i found what worked I sent searching since it dissappeared from local shelves. It's VASTLY overpriced here I paid less than $8 for a bigger bag at the store. But I really love it and when it dropped to $11 I went for it and I'm happy to have it in my cupboard again.
