By familiaspaulding •
Hello,
I would like to know where I can find the following grocery items:
1) Steel Cut Oatmeal
2) Cracked Wheat(Bulghur)
3) Quinoa
4) Barley
5) Flax Seeds
6) Seseme Seed or Almond Butter
7) Whole wheat pasta
Thank you
1) Steel Cut Oatmeal
You MIGHT find steel cut oatmeal at MegaMart, which is the only place I have found oatmeal that is not "quick-cooking". Look for the bag in the (very small) organic section. . .it's packaged by a UK company that escapes my mind at the moment, but when you get here I'll take a look. It's a very popular UK brand, but not being from there it's not sticking with me!
2) Cracked Wheat(Bulghur)
Maybe MegaMart, but be prepared for the MegaPrice
3) Quinoa
Haven't seen quinoa yet. I would bring it in your suitcase - plenty of it, if you eat a fair bit of it.
4) Barley and 5) Flax Seeds
Not sure, but will keep my eyes open
6) Sesame Seed or Almond Butter
I have not seen almond butter here at all, but it's easy enough to make your own if you have a food processor. Ditto for sesame seed butter (tahini?), though roasting the seeds without burning them is a pain.
7) Whole wheat pasta
MegaMart
1) Steel Cut Oatmeal: I donno
2) Cracked Wheat(Bulghur): Giant Stores (they have the white and the brown..
3) Quinoa: probably sooq Waqif
4) Barley: Sooq Waqif
5) Flax Seeds: MEgamart
6) Seseme Seed or Almond Butter: you can find Sesame seed in Carrefour and Giant Stores, you can find it raw or roasted
7) Whole wheat pasta: I buy it from Giant Stores (Hyatt Branch)
2,6 & 7 Carrefour & Megamart
4 Souq Waqif
5 Megamart
Others I don't know but ask in megamart because most of the healthy food are provided there.
Good Luck
