The Qunioa rice Hunger is a very high quality product in organic quality. Normally it is recommended to wash quinoa before cooking so that the saponins contained in it are removed and therefore the cooked Qunioa not taste bitter. However, I have not washed it and it was still pleasantly mild and nutty flavor. So I'm assuming that this quinoa were peeled and washed before being sold (as with other manufacturers also). The price-performance ratio, especially if one buys larger quantities of rice hunger very well. I recommend this Quinoa you!
