any thai brand will do. price is based on supply and demand together with the distribution. better distribution, marketing and sales, better brand recognition and demand - thus higher price. may be long time thai resident froggy and yinyang can taste the difference among various brands. for me, golden phoenix. no golden phoenix i jump.

i don't eat much lice these days. even if i crave for it, it will be brown lice, which is more sexpensive. thus, i only buy small bags, and they cost more per lb. quinoa is now my grain staple.

I find quinoa very hard to eat. Dont like the taste and texture.

I know all those brown rice quinoa etc are healthier alternatives.

But for someone like me hoping to get cancer and heart attack and stroke and die soon it means little to me. Go for the unhealthy stuff and cross my fingers!

quinoa in pure form gets into my nasal passages quite a bit as it’s too small to chew. thus i gulp or swallow without mastication. to prevent that from happening, i mix it with bits of cucumber, raisins, seeds, nuts, beans to turn it into salad.
