Where can I find quinoa? Our local grocery store sell the Bob's Mill kind, but it is $12.00. Is this a normal price? I would like to try it, but that sounds a bit steep for a price. Maybe I'm wrong?
You can buy it in bulk, either at a health food store, sometimes your local grocer will have a health food section, and if traveling you could see if a Whole Foods Market is in one of the towns you will be traveling through. Laura

A pound of quinoa is a hugh amount. I would say about 4 large cups. When I make it I use about 1/4 cup for 4 people. it grows like rice.
I know www.azurestandard.com and www.breadbeckers.com has reasonable prices for quinoa. As Diana said it takes very little to feed a family. I have a family of 5 with 3 teens and I only use a cup for an entire meal. It's much cheaper than buying grass fed beef.
