Hit and a miss!

I was very excited to try this new product, especially the Santorini lemon dill flavour. Quick to make and no artificial flavours were a great start but this wasn't for me. Overall it was disappointing, maybe the other flavours in this line would be better!

PURGRAINS-Pleasantly surprised!

I have been avoiding pre-made sides since they became a thing for many reasons.
The thought that it would only take 90 seconds to have ready for the table wasn’t appealing at all. All I could think was “How many chemicals are keeping this side dish from spoiling?”
The packaging catches your eye, but it doesn’t make you think of a side dish, never mind a healthy or delicious one. The one thing I admire about the packaging is the clear bottom which allowed me to see what was inside. However, what I saw did not look appealing in any way.
After following the instructions to “knead” the package I thought I’d use the microwave as this is supposed to be a speedy side dish. After warming the dish and scooping it out of the package I almost gave up right there. The smell of dill made me press on and try a spoonful as my Greek salad sat close by as my “chaser!” At first bite I thought it didn’t taste as good as it smelled and seemed to have a lingering taste that was nothing like the taste that first hits your taste buds. I admit I had another bite with my salad and they went okay together. I could not finish this side dish because of the dry mushy texture and consistency. Because of all these points, I don’t think I would be tempted to try another flavour.

Purgrains Lemon Dill

I was so exicted to try this products, but it was a huge disappointment. I had the lemon dill flavour and you can barely taste the lemon, the dill didn't pop for me either. The first few bites tasted like dill gone bad. My second issue is I almost broke a tooth on something in this package. I am writing this a long while after and I can still feel a sharp pain in the tooth/jaw. I would not willing buy this product after that.

Will never buy!

I tried the Pürgrains Santorini Lemon Dill flavour for lunch today with my family. As this is a side dish I decided to pair it up with a bowl of lentils. The Pürgrains which are made of brown rice and quinoa was extremely disappointing in both flavour and aroma resulting in the whole dish falling flat immediately.

I believe that the pair of brown rice and quinoa, which are both carbohydrates, do not make sense, even though both of them are good fibres. I will not be purchasing this product.

Not satisfied

I got this product from chickadvisor for free as a sample few days ago. I taste it first time but unfortunately I didn’t like the taste. Even my whole family doesn’t like it. I know everyone have different taste so maybe other people like it. But the quality of this product is very good.

Small portion, way too much dill.

Once the product is unpacked it doesn't look good. The dill flavour is way too overpowering and it's salty. The portion is fairly small as well. I am disappointed because I was looking forward to this.

Great product, just not for me

So this product just wasn't for me. Maybe it was just this flavour, but I wasn't a fan.
First, let me just say that it's super easy and convenient to make! Like really easy! I made it in the microwave. So basically cut, toss, zap and you're done! Easy peasy! Sure it has lots of healthy ingredients, which is a win, but the flavour. Just no. Way too much dill flavour. Like overpowering! No one in my house enjoyed the flavour at all. I really wanted to live this product for its healthy ingredients, but the flavour killed that. I may give a different flavour a try and see if it's any better, but for me, the lemon and dill was a big no. If you're a fan of hardcore dill flavour, then you'll probably love this! Super simple side dish, takes very little time to make. But in my opinion, try a different flavour.

Quick and convenient - not great taste or smell

I have to say I LOVE how quick and easy it was to prepare. I LOVE the simple ingredients. I didn’t love the flavour. I was expecting a light dill flavour like in the description but it’s heavily dill flavoured. You don’t really notice any lemon or anything else. I think a different flavour might be great but this particular one I won’t be having again.

Strong dill flavour

My family and I are always looking for ways to spice up our dinner selections. We tried the Santorini Lemon Dill side dish, however it was not a win for us. The lemon flavour gave a very tarte first taste, but the last taste was the dill and it was very strong.
I enjoyed the quick preparation of the dish, and will try other flavours - but the dill was not for us.

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.
