365 by Whole Foods Market Organic White Quinoa 16 oz

Overview

365 by Whole Foods Market's organic white quinoa is a single-color option in a 16 oz bag, milder than tri-color blends, from the retailer's house brand and sized for regular grocery restocking rather than bulk buying.

Where the other bags in this category blend red, white and black quinoa, this one is white quinoa only, which tends to cook softer and milder in flavor. It carries the 365 house-brand organic certification but the published listing is thin on cooking instructions beyond its intended use as a grain-bowl and side-dish base.

• 16 oz organic white quinoa
• Naturally sodium-free
• Complete protein source
• Suited to grain bowls and side dishes

Who it's for

Good for shoppers who prefer a single mild grain over a tri-color mix, or who want a smaller 16 oz bag rather than a multi-pound bulk bag. Not the choice for anyone specifically wanting the color and texture variety of red and black quinoa.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

White quinoa alone cooks up milder and softer than tri-color blends that include red and black grains, and the brand markets it as a base for grain bowls and side dishes. It is naturally sodium-free, so seasoning is left entirely to the cook.
