Where can I find red or black quinoa in Toronto?

I can't seem to find red or black quinoa in the grocery stores I've checked. Haven't yet ventured into any specialty stores. Any suggestions?

Have you checked Bulk Barn? Can't speak for Toronto, but they have red quinoa in it on the east coast, and they're pretty standardized.

I'm pretty sure I saw colorful quinoa at the Nuthouse on Bloor this weekend. They are located on the north side if Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne. 647 352 3385.

I bought black quinoa at Bulk Barn in Mississauga, so you might have luck at other Bulk Barn locations in Toronto/GTA.

I came in here to say BULK BARN! I was just at my local (Hamilton) Barn yesterday and they had several colours.

Where are you? Noah's, the health food store at Bloor and Spadina, has a really large selection of various bulk quinoa. Bulk Barn also sells it, and there's a new one at Yonge and College. And there's a big bulk place in Kensington Market (the name of which I have sadly forgotten) as well.

Almost certainly available at various places in Kensington Market.

Oh! And Rube's Rice in St. Lawrence Market (the south, all-week-long market) has a non-rice section as well which had coloured quinoa as of 6 months ago.

Strictly Bulk are likely to have it, as will The Big Carrot on the Danforth.

Do they have Save on Foods (or Overwaitea) in Ontario? I have seen both red and black quinoa at Save on Foods in Alberta.

And, as others have said, Bulk Barn (and even regular Superstore/Dominion/Loblaw's/whatever-they-call-it-in-Ontario) is also almost sure to have it regardless of what part of the country you're in.

Safeway also occasionally has it in the organic section, but not always.
