If you have a Home econismist market, or an EarthFare in your area, Ours carrys the big bulk bins of everything you can think of. I normally pay anywhere between $1-$2 a pound for my quinoa in either red or regular, and the same for my steel cut oats. or any other grains or beans. It can be expensive buying smaller containers.

I'm back looking at your recipes again. I just started playing with quinoa, and was pretty sure I could count on you for at least one recipe. I'm also playing with miso, and have everything to try my hand at some sushi, including a nice piece of sashimi tuna. I love sashimi, but my guys won't touch it (more for me). Thanks again for some inspiration. Hi Wardeh! I’m back looking at your recipes again. I just started playing with quinoa, and was pretty sure I could count on you for at least one recipe.

Our standard grain dish mixes white quinoa, red quinoa and short grain brown rice in equal quantities, cooking the rice and red for 20 min before adding the white for an additional 20 min. season to taste - dry onions, salt and pepper for us. We also use a bit of the quinoa flakes in our granola recipe. I order my quinoa via the web from Ancient Harvest’s outlet at http://www.quinoa.net.

I actually did locate some potential co-ops, an hour or two away. We really need to budget our expenses and your web-site is an inspiration on how to do this and eat really good food at the same time! Thanks a lot, Wardeh!

The little boxes at Trader Joe's are expensive, aren't they? I was also wondering where you buy your oatmeal. I use the Irish cut oatmeal in cans which is really yummy but prohibitively expensive! <em>Yes, it can be expensive that way. I buy it in bulk -- 25 or 50 pounds at a time -- from the natural food co-op, Azure Standard, or a natural food warehouse nearby. If you don't know of one in your area, I would recommend going into your natural food store and asking them about ordering a bag of either through them. They'll often give a wholesale plus 10% or 15% price, which can be a tremendous savings. If it sounds like too much for you to buy, perhaps you have a friend who will split it with you? Or perhaps they offer a 5 or 10 lb bag. Hope this helps! -Wardeh</em> I was wondering where you buy your quinoa. The little boxes at Trader Joe’s are expensive, aren’t they?
