Kaniwa Flakes

I make this for breakfast as a hot cereal and it’s been a huge benefit since discovering I have several food allergies. The flavor was a little grassy / hay like at first but I quickly became accustomed to the unique flavor and really enjoy it now. The recipe I use: 1 serving = 1 cup water and 1/3 cup kaniwa flakes, boil water, add flakes, stir, reduce heat to simmer and cover, cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches desired thickness. I then serve with any combination of butter, heavy cream, milk, maple syrup or sugar, my go to combo is butter and maple syrup. I stay full for hours with this meal. If I’m extra hungry I double the recipe. Highly recommend!

I had never heard of Kaniwa before, so when I saw this and read the reviews I decided to try it. I first tried a small amount right out of the bag, flavor?? So so. Then I toasted some in the oven, flavor was much improved. I added it to my homemade gluten-free hot cereal mix. Another great gluten-free option. Will definitely buy more when needed.

I use this in my flour mix just a tablespoon or so per cup to make everything more nutritious and add protein - There is no distinct flavour difference with it in my breads and even in my deserts.

ES UN GRAN BENEFICIO A NUESTRA SALUD, ES LA PRIMERA QUE LO TOMO Y ME HA RESULTADO. MUCHAS GRACIAS

I had never heard of kaniwa until recently, but I'm now into my 3rd package of it. It has a heartier flavor than quinoa (and a relative of it) or amaranth, has the highest protein profile of the three, and makes a wonderful addition to rotate or mix with any other hot cereal. And because it's flakes, it cooks quickly - which I especially appreciate.

A perfect addition to your smoothie or yogurt. Add a hint of earthy flavor with a slight crunch. Have not used to bake with, but feel will also be a great addition to add to your recipe. And health benefits of organic, vegan and gluten free. I highly recommend for those looking to add another superfood to your daily routine.

On opening the 1 lb pack of this powder. Found that it was infested with tiny 🐜. So had to discard the entire amount. Would be cautious about ordering this brand. Would have liked to use this as it’s a good nutrient. Unfortunately the return date has passed.

This is my first time eating kaniwa. These kaniwa flakes taste very much like quinoa flakes (which were out of stock everywhere I looked). I can't eat oatmeal anymore, so I had to find replacements for a hot morning cereal. I like to mix the flakes with other grains such as brown rice &/or buckwheat groats which I give a coarse grind before mixing with the flakes. Add spices (cinnamon and ginger), then depending on my taste for the day, choose a combo of add-in such as fruit, nuts/nut butter, hemp hearts, shredded coconut, cocoa, etc. Yum!! The Kaniwa flakes worked perfectly! Very glad to have found a new gluten free grain! Good product and at a good price from this seller.
