Kitchen & LoveSpanish Style Quinoa Medley, Pre Cooked, Microwave Ready Pouch, Shelf Stable, Non Gmo, Gluten & Dairy Free, Plant Based, Kosher, Vegan, 8 Oz, 6-Pack

My kid really liked the Spanish style quinoa in the past so I ordered 6 pack. Surprised that all 6 packs expire just over 3 months from date I received order. Expected longer shelf life. Order marked “ineligible for return”.

My wife and I are fairly set in making many of our meals and desserts fresh. However, there are some things that we've never cooked before and have wanted to try, only to discover it can be time consuming. Well, these packets are fairly healthy, and they are convenient. So I decided to give them a try.The packets were easy to deal with, just tear to vent and then heat. There are 6 pouches, and each pouch is easily enough to feed 2 people as a side. Or, if you're like my wife and love quinoa, this can be an entire meal for one. My wife, if she eats the packet as a meal, usually has some vegetables with it to make it more fulfilling and complete. She's eaten it out of the packet and she's also put it into a bowl with some salsa.As for me, I'm not the biggest fan of quinoa, so while these had a nice flavor, I'm not liking the texture. But I will not avoid eating this, I just prefer not because the texture isn't for me. My wife loves these though so this works. This is a bit costly for us, especially if my wife wanted to have these on a daily basis, which would be easy for her to do. But the taste and convenience, not to mention fairly healthy, warrants these to have in the pantry occasionally.

This Kitchen & Love Spanish Style Quinoa Medley taste not that bad. I personally don’t like quinoa, but I’m able to eat this.It has a little spicy to it which makes the quinoa more tasty. It’s very easy to get it ready, you can microwave it or Stir frying it.

A product of France this vegan-friendly, gluten-free Spanish Style Quinoa dish is satisfying and good tasting. Ready to make a quick meal it heats in its pouch either in a microwave oven for 90 seconds or on a stovetop in a pan with 2 tablespoons of water--just heat it through stirring occasionally.The ingredients used in this quinoa dish are actual food items--water, white quinoa, green lentils, tofu, red bell peppers, sweet corn, red beans, sunflower oil, salt, guar gum (stabilizer), chili powder and cumin powder. The quinoa dish is mildly spicy and has no heat which will be good news for people who prefer to avoid setting fire to their mouth but for others the level of spiciness may be augmented to suit.The quinoa texture is similar to a taco filling and the vegetables, lentils and tofu included in the dish add interest and flavor but all of the ingredients work together with no one element dominating. It all works well whether used in tacos, burritos, sprinkled on nachos or simply alone. Two of us divided the pouch, added a small salad on the side and a handful of corn tortilla chips and the meal was filling and delicious.Nutritionally the entire 8 ounce pouch is considered one serving and it has 330 calories, 9 grams fat (1 gram saturated), 41 grams carbohydrate, 10 grams fiber, 4 grams sugar (no sugar added) and 16 grams protein. It has no cholesterol and if watching salt intake the sodium content is 21 percent of daily value (DV). There are also trace elements like 6 percent DV calcium, 23 percent DV iron and 15 percent DV potassium.For people with allergies or sensitivities the product contains soy. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in August 2021 the Best Before date is 15 months in the future but dates will vary. Refrigerate any unused portion and consume within 2 days. Excellent.

From time to time we like to eat something other than rice in our home. This quinoa has a really nice texture to it and a nice flavor. Very easy instructions to follow when making. You get a lot for the money spent which is a really good thing these days. One of the reasons I like it so much is because my kids can make a pouch without parent supervision when they want something to add to the meat they may be eating.Good item to have in the pantry.

Maybe mom spoiled me with Spanish Rice. So was expecting the same flavour. While it was good, it was nothing near to having any spice in it. As such, add some spices to it to give it a little bit of a kick.

Quinoa is one of my favorite grains, so it was a no brainer to try this one. I also tried this company's Tabbouleh version which I liked a little bit more that this one. This Spanish style quinoa is still quite delicious, with a just a hint of spice. The ingredients are good, with no preservatives. Each package is an individual portion and is quite filling. It is definitely enough for a meal. It is very easy to prepare, just microwave for 90 seconds and enjoy. I could not really detect much tofu. I think there was 1 or 2 small pieces in the entire package. The flavor reminded me a lot of dirty rice with beans, so if you like something like that, you will definitely enjoy this hearty meal. No sure if I would label this as "Spanish," but it is quite tasty and enjoyable. Overall, a nice quick meal to have in the pantry for busy days or emergencies.

I really like the healthy ingredients in this, and that it is vegan. There is nothing strange in it, nothing I don't recognize. And it couldn't be easier to make. Although a packet is one serving, if you serve it as a side dish, it can easily serve two. The nutrition is good, especially for protein.I actually like it better as a burrito ingredient rather than a side dish. It's not too spicy or too hot for me, but the flavor is strong to my taste buds -- the chili powder and cumin? I like both those ingredients but perhaps this has a little too much for me. Nevertheless, this is much nicer than several of the convenience foods I've tried, and it gets high marks for ingredients.
