I like Dill

I was hesitant to try this out, however, I am a fan of quinoa couscous and grains in general. The flavour I got was good, in my opinion. I am a huge fan of dill, so I did not feel that there was an overpowering smell. I quite enjoyed it, and ate it in one sitting. I just wish it was more product for the price.

Overpowering dill flavour was hard to finish

I liked the quinoa and the idea of the packet, however I tried the Pur grains Santorini Lemon Dill flavour and could not finish the sample. As soon at you open the packet from the microwave, all you smell is dill and when eating it the dill overpowered what I was eating this sample with, which made dinner rather unappetizing in the end. I probably wouldn't suggest this to family and friends, but I'd perhaps would try another flavour to come to a final judgment on the product.

Pantry must-have!

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this flavour! I cooked the grains on the stovetop > microwave, which allowed me to control how long I wanted to warm it up for. Flavour was also delicious (the lemon/dill combo hit just right!) Overall, this acts as a great complementary side dish to for dinner and I'm excited to try other flavours.

Excellent Greek inspired side dish!

I received the Santorini Lemon Dill flavour Pur Grains and the flavour did not disappoint. I went for a Mediterranean/Greek inspired supper and it was the perfect complainant to my lemon chicken skewers. The texture was fluffy like rice, bold dill and lemon flavour and it was super easy to heat in the microwave. A quick and nutritious, tasty side. Definitely going to look for this at my local supermarket.

Great ingredient list but wasn’t loving the flavour

I liked how this product had a portion size that was able to feed multiple people and even have left overs. It is also really easy and fast to make. Wasn’t a big fan of the lemon dill flavour. It smelled nice but didn’t translate to the taste. The ingredients were great especially for having someone with a low sugar diet in the family. Was also high in fibre and plant based which was great. The texture when eating it wasn’t overly dry but a little grainy.

Óchi Gia ména (not for me!)

I #gotitfree from #productreviewclub in exchange for my honest review. This product is not for me at all. I was looking forward to trying this as I like taking these type of packets to work for my lunches from time to time. As soon as I opened the pack I kinda knew it wasn’t going to be good. The smell is very strong. As directed, I threw it in my microwave for 90seconds and let it stand for 3 minutes. I normally like quinoa, brown rice and farro but this was mushy and had no ‘bite’ to it all. Secondly, the taste was very overwhelming for me. I got the Santorini lemon dill flavour and normally I like dill… this was not it. It’s very tangy and garlicky. The title of my review says ‘not for me’ in Greek… sadly I won’t be buying this product, even with the included $1 coupon. Sorry Chicks!

Good for a Quick Side or Lunch

I received the Purgrains Santorini Lemon Dill to try and I'm glad I did. The flavour is good, not too strong or too mild, with dill being the strongest flavour noticed. The purgrains package cooks quickly in the microwave, so it is a timesaver on those nights you are rushing. That being said, there isn't a lot of food in the packet. You could reasonably eat the entire packet for a work lunch or it might work as a side for two people for dinner. You would definitely need more than one packet for a family, which makes it a bit expensive. I also found the product a little dry and wished it had more moisture. I liked the addition of the ancient grains, like quinoa though. Depending on a sale price, I would buy this again.

Absolutely delicious, so many different flavours

This is such a yummy dish and so easy to make. The textures mix so well.. I’d definitely recommend buying this item for something different. I also liked all the the fact this is healthy as well.

Simple to make

I don't usually eat this type of food and I'm not a fan of brown rice, but I'm glad I ate it because I love it and I will be buying more, happy I received a sample 😁

Easy Prep & Plant-Based

This is a great item to keep in your pantry for days when you don’t have time or are not in the mood to cook, but still want something healthy. It is flavourful and I could taste the dill. It smells fragrant but I did find it to be on the dry side. I ate this on the side with some protein as this product is plant-based. I really like the packaging as it is eye-catching!
