So good. Last night I made a pork barley stew but used this pilaf instead of the barley. Absolutely delicious.

I have one packet of this pilaf in the cupboard. I must have got rid of the box. Anyone have the general directions? I forget how much water & simmer time.

I found this recently at Sunrise Natural Foods in Roseville, CA! My husband used to make it as a hot cereal with honey, cinnamon, and raisens. Were looking forward to having it again!

I’ve missed having this. It used to be available in stores, but now it’s only in stores that are too far. I might try ordering here and stocking up. I love this stuff!

why can’t you find this product in markets. i hate brown rice. but i love this product. i bought a dozen boxes from kashi the last time i bought this item.

I love the pilaf too but my local grocer carries it off and on. I happened to get into Amazon.com’s grocery area the other day and they sell Kashi pilaf Just go to www.amazon.com and type in Kashi pilaf and you’re there.

I always find this product at Shoprite. It is very healthy and it tastes great!

Versatile, awesome taste and nutrition and, unfortunately, not always very easy to find.

I would love to try this product but cannot seem to find it anywhere. I just asked the grocery store manager yesterday about it and would really like to find it in a store locally rather than buying it online. I am having a hard time understanding why I am seeing more and more Kashi brand products like the granola bars, cereals and frozen dinners at the store, but not this one. It is such a simple product and is in fact the base for a great many of the Kashi products. I have so many ideas of ways to try this stuff and yet no easy way to get my hands on it. The marketing department needs to get on this. I love it in the Chicken Florentine frozen dinner, and just tried the Southwest Chicken one today and loved it as well. It is such a great alternative to rice and in some cases pasta. Many grocery stores are even carrying some gluten free and other specialty foods, why not something that is so much healthier and good for a majority of people to eat? I really hope to find this product on shelves in East Tennessee soon!

I love this product and is a pity it no longer is available in Canada.
I bought it some 15 years ago at Safeway Canada and then it was no longer available. Now when I go to WA, USA I stock up. Great as a cereal, ingredient added to green salads or as a substitute for CousCous or wheat berry kind of salads, or as a side dish instead of rice. So flavorfull and nutty tasting! Time to make another trip ! The last batch I think I bought at Hagens Grocery

You used to include a recipe book with this product – they were great dishes!
My favorite was the Vegetable Salad. Yummy!

I have been using this product for over 20 years and LOVE IT but it is becoming impossible to find in grocery stores. Although Stop and Shop claim they sell it, they do not. Why is it to hard to get. Everyone I know loves it, too and they too cannot find it. HELP, PLEASE.

I don’t understand! I bought a box of pilaf several weeks ago & it’s great. I cannot remember where I bought the original box & now have looked across two states & cannot find it again!! It seems a shame for something so good, & healthy, to be so hard to find. Any ideas as to why this might be?

I was thrilled to find Kashi pilaf, so much healthier than traditional white rice and pasta. I’ve been eating it for a few years and today tried something new – made a “lobster risotto” with it – AWESOME! It was a great twist to have the crunch and very satisfying to know it was a healthier version of a favorite dish. I used non fat 1/2 and 1/2 with small amounts of asiago and feta cheeses to make it creamy. And a little cracked black pepper was the perfect finishing touch. If you like Kashi pilaf and lobster, give it a try.

I am so glad this is back. The Kashi original line was amazing. Not as crazy about some of the newer additions, but the early products like this one are absolute necessities!

This looks really delicious! I want to try this!

Thank you – 160mg of Potassium is workable for my mom’s low potassium needs. We make a diced salad of veggies (carrots, radishes, cukes, broccoli, really any raw veggie), use your favorite dressing, and add the pilaf to our liking… It is yummy and as so many others say… great texture!

I just made a lovely acorn squash stuffed with your 7-grain pilaf, mushrooms, currents, and pine nuts. What a perfect meatless meal for our family and I love love loved the texture of the pilaf!

i want to share this with my mom, but i need to know how much potassium per serving please?

I love this product, but I have a question. I usually rinse rice a few times before I cook it, but when I tried washing the pilaf, all the sesame seeds floated away. :-/ Does the pilaf not need to be rinsed before cooking? Thanks! Ramya

I agree with k8187h — the microwaveable pouches were great. She wants them back & so do I. With the right marketing/advertising, they’d be a success. In a recent phone conversation, I told a Kashi representative that I would be more than happy to be an unpaid spokesperson for the product because it was the best ever! Would it be that difficult to give it another try with consumers? Only this time – hire someone who knows “how” to market a product. If the Uncle Ben’s micro pouches were selling (and still are), why weren’t Kashi’s? Had to be for the lack of advertising because it sure couldn’t have been for the product’s taste/quality. Kashi’s pilafs in the micro pouches put the Uncle to shame — and that’s a fact, folks!

I love Kashi Pilaf and eat it every day, it’s delicious and healthy. I wish, though, that I could dispense with all the packageing. What is really the purpose of the three little bags inside the box; couldn’t we just have it in a bag, like rice, and in larger sizes.

Does anyone know if this item is kosher? I’ve seen so many good recipes for it and I’d really like to know if I can eat it :)

What happened to the whole grain microwavable pouches?!? They were fantastic! I kept an ongoing selection of them in my cabinet. So healthful, convenient and wonderfully delicious. Even my husband ate them with gusto. Just right for the 2 of us. Then POOF, no longer could I find them anywhere, not even listed here! I haven’t seen this boxed product in the stores either, or would’ve tried it. Would SO like to have your pouches back,……
ps. box not available in the local Krogers, other grocers or health food store here. But Krogers used to carry your pouches. Still a huge and faithful consumer of your cereals:>)

This is the best ever! I enjoy a small bowl every morning for my breakfast to get my day started. I pre-cook it and keep it in the fridge so that all I have to do is put a serving in a bowl, add some dried cranberry’s, chopped walnuts, milk and pop it in the microwave to heat and eat. So good for you, no sodium or cholesterol!!!

It takes a bit longer than my typical Short Grain brown rice, Quinoa, etc… to cook but DEFINITELY worth it. Tossed it with some tart diced apple and Guaram Masala as a perfect compliment to a pumpkin-black bean casserole. A nice fall grain! (All year for that matter)

This is a favorite discovery. It’s tasty and so ridiculously good for you! I just had some for lunch. i made it last night, and i threw in a can of water chestnuts, a can of chicken and a can of green peas. fabulous full meal.

What happened to the microwave pouches? They were so quick and easy, I didn’t have to remember to cook some the night before for my breakfast. Can you bring them back?

Laurel..I Make it in my Hitachi rice cooker according to stove top directions on the box. 2 liquid to one dry mix…I believe one pouch is a cup of mix. I added 2 cups of light chicken broth and a little extra virgin Olive Oil… so yummy!!!!!

I usually cook this on the stove-top but I have a small (1/2c – 5c) Japanese rice cooker & would love to figure out how to make it in that. Would the grain to water ratio be the same as brown rice? Suggestions, anyone?

can you make a veggie bean burger with 7grain pilaf?

I cook a batch of this and mix it in with my oatmeal for breakfast. I also mix in the cooked pilaf with soup and vegetable dishes. It is a versatile product that blends in nicely without diminishing the flavor of the main dish.

can this be used in place of rice or other grains in casseroles and soups?

I came across the Pilaf in my local supermarket today. It struck my eye because I was in the cereal aisle and didn’t expect to see it. Nice to see 0 grams of sodium and sugar.

I see others are having the same trouble — can’t find the Pilaf in the store. Wonder what’s up with that?? I see the Kashi Store is about 20 miles away, so why don’t the groceries have it?? Maybe it’s time for a suggestion at the grocery store :)

We have been unable to find Kashi 7 Whole grain Pilaf in any of our local supermarkets.
We would like to know if this product has been discontinued.

Anyone know if this is good past the expiration date? I just found a package that’s dated 1-9-2010 and I’d sure like to have it for dinner tonight…

I cannot buy Kashi Pilaf within 120 miles of where I live. And Amazon.com doesn’t carry it. What’s going on?

I just checked and this product is not available within a 40 mile radus of my zip code. We need to have it available.

Our local Marc’s had this for several months, but no more – I am so disappointed. I guess I don’t need to be a member anymore

I just found the answer to my question. Seems like a supply/demand issue. Wow. Hopefully the stores will be restocked soon.

Why are the Kashi products so hard to find? I thought it was just in my area but it seems these items are difficult to find anywhere. I couldn’t even find this at Whole Foods. I wish I had stocked up. Is shopping online a good deal?

This product is very difficult to find in stores and it is a wonderful food!!! Maybe we should advertise it more like your breakfast cereal campaign. I buy it by the case online…it’s just easier than asking all the grocery stores. You have wonderful products and I just don’t understand why stores don’t carry all Kashi products.

Its pretty sad that I live in Queens and the closest place I can go to get this is Howard Beach. At the very least why isn’t this at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods?

(In NewEngland) Marketbasket has it in the hot cereal area.

I just purchased the Original 7 Whole Grain Pilaf and I just wanted to say, “Wow.” This mixture is so tasty and the texture is delightful, soft with just enough bite. It is delicious. The only issue that I was not pleased with is the nutrition information. It lists on the package that a serving size is 1/2 cup cooked (140 grams). Usually, grains such as pasta or rice list the serving sizes in uncooked values. I actually called Kashi and spoke to a representative who had informed me that the uncooked serving size would equal 70 grams. However, when I experimented on my own I found that 70 grams uncooked equaled more than 1/2 cup uncooked, which I knew had to be incorrect. I then figured it out on my own through brainstorming. I figured if there are 12 servings per box and there are 3 packages, there must be 4 servings per package which would be equal to 1/4 cup uncooked (approximately 45 grams). The representative said they did receive a lot of calls regarding this issue for which I do hope they decide to change it on their packaging. The pilaf will definitely be a staple in my daily diet! It is quite delicious!

I was so pleased to come across the “old” standard Kashi that we used to have instead of rice. I came upon it by chance and bought all 10 packages available in case it was a one time thing. It is very convenient to have the prepared & ready to microwave packets. After reading the other comments I also do hope that it is not being discontinued. I purchased it at a Grocery Outlet but will check tomorrow at the store listed for my town. It is a wonderful product, you really feel that you’re eating healthy.

If you can’t find it locally, perhaps this is an option: http://www.iherb.com/Kashi-7-Whole-Grain-Pilaf-3-6-5-oz-Packets/14710?at=0

I used to be able to buy the 7 grain pilaf at several different stores, the pre-cooked pouches or the box with several pouches to cook on the stovetop. But now I can’t find it. I love it, and I have to confess – I have pet birds and they absolutely go nuts for it. I have to set aside some for myself and then share. But they can not be found anywhere any longer. What’s the deal??? Please help

PLEASE, PLEASE tell me where I can find this! on line, off line, any city!
