THRIVE Quinoa is gluten-free and USDA-certified organic. It is unique because although it is typically considered a grain, it is actually closely related to leafy green spinach, making quinoa rich in both amino acids and protein. When cooked, quinoa can become a delicious hot cereal, pasta, or side dish.

When I originally commented I clixked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
noww each tie a comment is added I gett several
emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
Jodi and Julie says
I don’t think I can change it on our end. Maybe in the emails that are sent you can request to unsubscribe next time a comment comes through? Sorry for the hassle!

Sounds great and a good formate to get guests speakers to speak to their topic. It’s always great to have people talk to a group since they tend to put more energy into it. Keep up the great work.

My 6 yr old was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and now I’m looking at my preparedness with new eyes. The quinoa is great, but packed with carbs meaning a bigger shot 🙁 Can you share or send me in the direction of some good diabetic info? We are looking for low carb, all natural types of foods!
Thank you! Your posts on Facebook and your emails have given me a sense of confidence in my storage and preparedness!
