This is one of 15 products from Viva Naturals that I have tested since their entrance into the Canadian Market Place earlier this year. I have found that overall all they are of superior quality and value than many of the products on the market. And I find the same with this one. Viva Natural's have been around since 2011 south of the border. Viva Naturals is working towards becoming an all-around health and wellness company. They have product range includes; nutritional supplements, organic food, and beauty products to essentials oils. Their goal is to help you with your wellness goals, and thankfully they are expanding into the Canadian market place, with these quality products. I have had the advantage of receiving a number of their products to try at the same time. I have used many of them by themselves or in combination with each other. I have been impressed with each of them, but enough about Viva Naturals as a company and on to reviewing this specific product the Organic Quinoa, Whole Grain.

Pros:
Simple to prepare
Consistent quality
Great taste

Cons:
The reseal feature on the pouch does not work well

I have tried about a half dozen different brands of Quinoa, and this one will now be my staple. My only wish is they had the option of a rainbow or dark version to complement this lighter coloured and flavoured Quinoa. The fact that the package does not reseal well is the only drawback I encountered from using this. I often add it to help thicken smoothies, or to add some extra protein.

As stated before over the last few months I have had the opportunity to try over a dozen products from Viva Naturals. I have been impressed with them all! This Organic Quinoa is a great product and I trust this product and the brand! These products are now available in Canada currently through the Amazon Marketplace. This is a great product at good price, looking forward to trying more products as they make their way to the Canadian Market.
