I got this complimentary sample from pinchme the website for testing when I opened it was like dry squishy rice it was easy to make seemed like a mix of rice seeds almost oat like but I don't really like the texture when I cook it came out dry it was flavorful but I don't like the taste.

I have received the seeds of change certifird organic quinoa and brown rice with garlic pouch sample from pinchme and its amazing. I have bought it again after trying it. Its so easy to prepare . The taste is amazing. You dont even need meat to eat it. Its a whole meal .. Best ingredients in a pouch ever. Healthy and delicious.

I recieved my full size sample of SEEDS OF CHANGE quinoa and brown rice with garlic from PinchMe about a month ago and we used it that night as a side with our dinner. My kids and husband gobbled it up! I couldn't be happier to have family friendly options in healthier foods. I very picky guys and now I can feel good about what's going in their bodies. SEEDS OF CHANGE has become a staple in my household.

I had never had quinoa rice before so I didn't know what to expect. I typically buy similarly prepared rice with vegetables and would probably buy this again but it won't be a go-to staple anytime soon. It lacked flavor and had a coarseness that is different than what I'm used to. Overall, I'd say it was decent or good.

I received a free sample through PinchMe in exchange for my honest review. Following the instructions yielded a nice texture, not too soft or firm, though it was just a little dry. Our biggest issue, and the reason we won't be buying, is that we didn't like the spices. We would prefer to be able to add our own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this quinoa and brown rice with garlic Seeds of Change was ok. I like that it’s easy to make for a quick side dish. The addition of quinoa makes it a little healthier with a little more protein than just a rice side dish so I like that about it as well. The product is organic and part of seeds of change profit go to helping others in need which is nice. In regards to taste and texture. I thought this was OK but not a favorite. The texture of the rice and quinoa was OK but definitely not as good as when it’s made from scratch. The the dish had plenty of garlic taste, but again you could tell the garlic had been in a package. This is worth trying for an easy organic side dish with the added benefit of some additional protein if you like microwavable rice pouch style products.

Brown rice and quinoa both contain levels of arsenic, which is obviously very bad for health. Alas, this is true for organic rice, too. After doing research, I have learned that the lowest arsenic levels can be found in both white and brown rice from California, India, Pakistan, and sushi rice from US. Avoid rice from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Seeds of Change is based in Chicago, but the consumer doesn't know where they are sourcing their grains from. It is yummy, and convenient. I take it out of the packet, and it heats up in the microwave quickly. White rice, of course, spikes blood sugar, yet has less arsenic. So what to do? Apparently cooking from scratch and rinsing a lot helps lower the arsenic level; the arsenic is in the hull of the brown rice. But what if we want both convenience combined with healthy nutrition? I don't want to give up the convenience, so I will likely eat very small amounts at any one time: about 1/4 cup, no more than once a week.

I got this product for free from PINCHME for an honest review. My whole family loved this rice and we have already purchased more. The texture stays with it and doesn't get soggy, the taste leaves a great lasting flavor on your tongue and overall is just wonderful!

This is perfect when you need a delicious and healthy side dish but don't have a lot of time. The pouch goes right in the microwave for quick cooking. The flavor is pleasant and not overly garlicky. I like to keep a few of these on hand for fast suppers.

I have made this several times and while its "good" and good for you, it lacks the flavor that similar products have. I wish it had a little more garlic flavor - its really pretty bland and I usually have to add seasoning to it. Otherwise I love that its healthy and organic.
