Simply Nature 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice
What it is
This product is a convenient blend of pre-cooked quinoa and brown rice, ready to heat and serve in just 90 seconds. It offers a wholesome combination of two popular whole grains, providing a satisfying texture and earthy flavor. The grains are typically steamed and sealed in a microwave-safe pouch, making meal preparation quick and easy. This blend is a good source of complex carbohydrates and is naturally free from common allergens.
How people cook with it
This versatile grain blend is perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a fast and healthy side dish.
- As a base for grain bowls
- To accompany stir-fries
- Mixed into salads
- As a quick side dish
To prepare, simply place the pouch on a flat surface and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Carefully open the pouch, as steam will escape. You can then fluff the grains with a fork and serve immediately. For a different texture, you can also heat the contents in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. This method can give the grains a slightly crispier finish.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried grains that require simmering for 30-45 minutes, this product is fully cooked and only needs reheating. The combination of quinoa and brown rice offers a more complex flavor and texture profile than either grain alone, with quinoa providing a slightly nutty taste and brown rice contributing a chewier bite.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a quick and easy way to incorporate whole grains into their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any unused portions and consume within 2-3 days. It is best to keep the remaining grains in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
