I love Nature Mart. I restocked my pantry a bit yesterday with spelt flour, brown rice flour, and buckwheat flour (because I've been having a hankering pour les galettes). I remembered to bring my jars, so there was no packaging at all involved in this grocery purchase - that just makes me so happy. I love those big clean jars filled with velvety soft flours that will become all sorts of delicious. Nature Mart has pretty much anything a hippie might put into a repurposed container - so many different kinds of granola and breakfast cereal, several colors of quinoa and other grains, two different kinds of wheat for you home millers, and all sorts of dried beans. It looks like they have a good price on organic soy beans - I think I'm going to get this soy milk maker that Nona wrote about - anyone else tried it? Of course, Nature Mart is a reliable source of nutritional yeast (two flippin' kinds, man) and vital wheat gluten (here, labeled gluten flour). Oh, and they have liquid groceries too like canola oil and agave nectar. It's my goal to only shop here and at the farmers market. It gets me all giddy to imagine a world in which I purchased nothing in a cardboard box or plastic bag. Eeee (that's my giddy noise), we'll see how it goes. A quick note about this giddiness: I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet, which reminds me - coffee - where will the coffee come from?
