Quinoa

Quinoa (keen-wah)  is a whole grain with a mild nutty flavor.  It's a complete protein containing all eight amino acids and can be used as a great substitute for rice, couscous or oatmeal.  It's easy to cook and has become a staple in my home, often used as the main course to our meals.  About a year ago I found that Sam's club and Costco sold a 4 lb. bag of quinoa for roughly $8. Unfortunately I went to Costco this past weekend only to find that they didn't have any in the store.  So today I've been on the hunt for quinoa.  After searching online I found that most places sell the same 4 lb bag for $29.99.  I called Costco and sadly found out that they no longer carry Nature's Earthly Choice Quinoa.   I then called Sam's club and found that none of the stores within 200 miles of my home carry it in their stores.  They did however put in a request for my local Sam's Club to get the item back in their store, and i'm hoping and praying they do!
