What it is
Jade Blend is a unique mixture of grains and legumes. It combines the nutty flavor of quinoa with the earthy notes of lentils and the subtle sweetness of amaranth. This blend offers a satisfying texture and a versatile base for a variety of dishes. It is pre-portioned for convenience and designed to cook evenly, making meal preparation simpler.
How people cook with it

To prepare Jade Blend, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. Combine one part Jade Blend with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender. Fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions for grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike single grains, Jade Blend offers a more complex flavor profile and a richer texture due to the combination of different ingredients. The mix of quinoa, lentils, and amaranth provides a balanced taste that stands well on its own or complements other flavors.
