At Kashi, we love whole grains so we did our best to make whole grains easy for you! Our 7 whole grain pilaf sides are quick to prepare on the stovetop or in just 60 seconds in the microwave. Not only are they convenient, but our pilaf side dishes are also good for you. With just one serving, you can enjoy a whole day’s worth of whole grains and 7g of fiber and 8g protein. Plus, our Original Pilaf is sodium free and our flavored varieties have 45% less salt than the average rice side dishes.*
Along with our original pilaf blend, we’ve also created two vibrant new flavors with tasty ingredients like roasted corn, red peppers, currants, cilantro and ginger. Try both flavors available in the ready-to-serve rice section of your local grocery or natural food store.
Inspired by the robust flavors found south of the border, we’ve combined our 7 whole grains with roasted corn, tomatoes, red bell peppers, black beans, cilantro and fiery poblano chilies. Enjoy this nice & spicy recipe as addition to any meal or all by itself!*

The fiery fiesta one is quite tasty and spicy! Can’t wait to try the others.
Can anyone tell me if the 7 Whole Grain Pilaf Sides are vegan/vegetarian? What is the “natural flavoring’ that is included in some packets?
Love love love these pilaf sides!!! These have been a god send in offering healthy sides to my 15 month old daughter (and husband who is the typical meat and potatoes kinda guy!) in addition to fresh fruits and veggies! We have even made a tex-mex burrito/taco with mixing in either tofu crumbles or ground turkey(cooked w/ taco seasonings) and cheese, and served in sprouted corn tortillas to make a killer healthy alternative to the typical tex-mex fare!!
According to me The Kashi pilaf is a nutritiuos meal rich in whole grains, carbohydrates and protiens.
I thought this was kind of bland at first. I added some shredded chicken and then I could not stop eating it! I almost ate the whole thing for lunch.
Healthy and cheap, both very important to me.
My husband and I generally love Kashi products but this one was really strange tasting to us. It lacked a lot of flavor. I ended up throwing out over half of it. I’ll keep trying new products, however.
This is incredible. It is far more spicy than you expect pre-packaged pre-seasoned food to be. This is a great base to build off of. I for example added some additional beans, and a small handful of almonds for added crunch. This plus and apple made for a satisfying healthy, wonderful lunch.
I would certainly buy this again.
Toooooo spicy for us. We’ll stick to the original
Very healthy and tasty ! I would certainly buy this again !
How do I get coupons???
I don’t believe these are vegetarian or vegan. I looked at the ingredients on one package and it listed glycerin, which is not usually vegetarian. Kashi usually labels their foods as vegan or vegetarian if they are, and none of these were labelled as such.
I really enjoyed this but could have been a little more spicy!
Very well rounded flavor. a bit spicey if you have stomach issues…. otherwise yummy!
Have yet to try. . .contemplating over the moroccan curry, although getting the original and adding my own curry powder might be preferable. . .
I use this when the family has Mexican dinner night (usually fish tacos). I serve this instead of rice. To this bag, I add one can of rinsed black beans, a handful of frozen corn and a jar of salsa. Voila! Dinner on the table in under 20.
I have only tried the plain and despite “jazzing it up” with dried fruit, toasted nuts etc. this was incredibly bland. I would be much more satisfied with the dried mix being offered like any other grain or rice blend. It may take longer to cook (big deal, use a rice cooker) but at least it would taste like something other penance.
I love this stuff for a quick and healthy lunch. Like another poster, I add chicken for a nearly complete meal. Addictive!!!
This fiery pilaf taste so great. As a great healthy dinner or just as a quick healthy lunch. For all those who like mexican food and are loving this you guys and gals should try doing this : prepare the pilaf like normal, cook up some lean ground turkey with spicy taco seasoning, and use both the pilaf and turkey as a stuffing in some wholegrain tortillas. this makes a great burrito dinner for mexican night!
I haven’t seen these in store yet, but I’m sure going to buy one when I do, looks great.
I used the “Fiery Fiesta” as the side to a great veggi chile the other day, “OH MY GOD” it was good! Seems this really benifits from a complimenting entre.
