I have on more favorable after the test purchasing from the health food store on site now onditionen ordered from Amazon and reweighed times, because the packages do not even hergaben 3 cups. Conclusion: With the outer packaging Amaranth weighs from Rapunzel GEADE times 498 gr The package weighs 6 gr per bag..
When the quinoa from Bolivia El Puente in these 5 pieces missing from each bag of 10-12 gr - with bag. The bags weigh there 4 gr. So missing on each bag of 14-16 gr, which is 30 gr to a kg, 3% You can contact me yes Erbsenzähler rant, but after all, these are not exceptions, but it is absent in every bag, and in two-party! Since infected system in it, both at Rapunzel Amaranth and quinoa at El Puente. Since the prices are not exactly cheap: 5.98 / kg for amaranth and 6.98 / kg for quinoa does it matter what, and sadly, always to the detriment of customers. On my last order which are "only" 70 cents, but it still annoys me, especially since nowadays the packaging machine are very accurate.
Too Bad.
Addendum on 30/10/2013: Now that I've bitten at every meal on sand and stones and have been fished out of the pot when cooking floating leaf debris and fibers from 3 stars down to one, because you can not assign zero. I now get when eating slight gag reflex when it crunches when biting, and the Fusselsammelei from the cooking water is not too appetizing! The taste reminds me of something musty Amaranth rice, so it's not terribly tasty. My homemade sourdough bread 100% whole grain rye tastes much better and is also filling. Experiment failed, canceled further orders.
Addendum 16/01/2014: In the meantime I have tried me by various providers of Amaranth and am with Antersdorfer mill Amaranth, 4-pack (4 x 500g) - remained Bio. This product is clean, and the taste, I have become accustomed :-)
