Overview

Ancient Harvest's 12 ounce box of traditional pre-rinsed organic quinoa, a whole grain that carries 6 grams of protein per serving. It is non-GMO, kosher, wheat free and gluten free, suited to oatmeal swaps, salads and side dishes.

This is a straightforward single-color quinoa, not a specialty blend, and the pre-rinsing is the main convenience it sells on: no soaking or scrubbing off the bitter saponin coating before cooking.

  • 12 oz box, traditional quinoa
  • Non-GMO, kosher, gluten free
  • 6g protein per serving
  • Pre-rinsed

Who it's for

Good for anyone who wants a plain, reliable pantry quinoa for salads, bowls or a side dish and does not need a colored blend. Less suited to someone who wants a guaranteed light, airy texture every time, since at least one buyer got a denser batch.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pre-rinsed, no bitter aftertaste for most buyers
  • Cooks in about 15 minutes
  • Works in an instant pot
  • 6g protein per serving
Cons
  • One buyer got a dense, hard to eat batch
  • Single color, not a blend

Performance notes

The pre-rinsing removes the natural bitter coating so it cooks straight from the bag without a rinse step. A roughly 1 cup water to half cup quinoa ratio was cited by one reviewer as reliable, and cook time runs about 15 minutes on the stovetop or in an instant pot.
