Review of 'Seeds of Change' Seven Whole Grains

Seeds of Change -- Seven Whole Grains (vegan)
Overall Rating: 5/5
Summary: mmm, love this and will definitely buy it again. The texture is complex, with rice, barley, bulgur, quinoa, etc.! It's also super hearty and filling, perfectly seasoned, and fresh. You need to try this if you like simple, nutritious, and delicious food. It's very delicately salted, so if you're a heavy salt user, this isn't for you.

Where to buy: US only
