Nutritious but falls flat on taste

I prepared my package in the microwave and it cooked great - perfect texture and doneness. I didn’t like the lemon dill flavour though - it was hard to eat because it just wasn’t appetizing. Love the natural ingredients though so I’d probably give one of the other flavours a try to see if they’re better.

Quick and tasty sidedish in a pinch

I'm always a sucker for trying out new products at the grocery store that can possibly save me time when I'm off work and on a hangry rampage. I was looking forward to trying the Greek-inspired lemon dill flavour of this new plant-based side dish. The only trick was finding the right main dish to pair this with. I ended up going for a fish-based meal, but this would be just as at home beside souvlaki (to really complete the Greek theme) or any other more "bare" meat entree. This was super easy to prep - we don't have a microwave, so I followed the instructions to heat it up on the stovetop. The pouch is 100% ready to serve, so all you're doing is getting it to your preferred temperature. One thing I have to note, however, is the smell. While I was pouring it out and heating it up, the smell was...not as appetizing as one would hope for something that's about to be consumed. Thankfully, the flavour was totally different from the way it smelled, but it's just an unpleasant part of the process. The flavouring itself was light and not overpowering (could maybe have used more, to be honest), though I don't know if I would describe this as quite as Mediterranean as I was hoping. The texture was nice and soft, and I loved the fact that it was protein-packed (which you don't usually get in a side-dish) and made with all-natural ingredients and supergrains. All in all, I can see this being a convenient item to have stocked in my pantry for emergencies but not necessarily a regular purchase.

I #gotitfree to try in exchange for my honest review through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

Nice Start but should be improved

I tried the Santorini Lemon Dill flavour and I have mixed feelings. I enjoyed it because it is a mixture of ancient grains, quinoa, farro and brown rice. I like that it is plant based and only takes 90 seconds to heat up in the microwave. On the other hand, I was expecting it to be more flavourful. The flavour could have been stronger. I had to add lemon to it. I also did not like the smell of it while it was being heated. Apart from that, I like that it is nutritious. I had mine with vegetables and Tandoori Chicken. Maybe I will like the other flavours more.

It’s okayish

Its taste was nice, portion size is also generous for one person. I won’t be buying again though as it felt a bit overprocessed. Also to add that when I received it, it was frozen. I am not sure if that would have effected it in anyway.

Flavour didn't stand out for me!

It was quick and easy to prepare. But the flavour didn’t stand out for me. I might try the other flavours to see if I would want to replace my present quick meal options. I would not recommend this flavour.

It was ok!

I was lucky enough to receive this for free from chickadvisor (thank you). Overall it was pretty decent especially since there is not a lot of prep time. It’s very convenient and actually healthy which is nice. The texture was different. The taste was pretty good as I had the Santorini dill flavour. We had a Greek dinner theme with chicken souvlaki and Greek salad. Overall it was a nice side dish with dinner.

Purgrain

Je ne peut pas dire que ce produit est un de mes favoris. Cest nes pas vraiment dans ma palette de gout mais cest tout de meme surprenant . Jaime le côté facile et rapide et je suis heureuse de lavoir eseiller.

Not just for me

I was initially excited to receive this because who does not like easy peasy meal preps...a nice lunch meal,especially at work. Unfortunately,I did not enjoy it at all,though richly packed with good nutrients. Besides the dull/bland taste,the look was not appealing at all with seemed like an overnight left over vibe. Overall,I would not recommend it to anyone who uses all senses(eyes,nose and tongue) to eat. I am glad to have received this to try for free.

Great idea, poor execution

The flavour was okay, but the texture was very mushy. It was hard to distinguish between the types of grains and it felt like I was eating oatmeal more than a grain product.

Convenient but could improve the taste

I appreciated the healthy ingredients and super convenient/easy preparation of it but the flavours which usually I really enjoy was not what I expected. The flavour was almost too strong and not a nice balance. The flavour could definitely be improved.
