JoeP Â Â 11 #3 Posted January 31, 2005 Not City Centre but try Beanies. Â I think it's on Barber Road - just above the University and before you get to Commonside - take the 95 from town out towards Walkley. Â They're in the book, anyway! Im pretty sure they'll have those things but might be worth calling them. Â Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Don_Kiddick   11 #4 Posted January 31, 2005 Have you tried the Wicker herbal store in Meadowhall, and/or Holland & Barret?  I've usually found unusual things there when I've been after them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bassman-x   10 #5 Posted January 31, 2005 I have only tried tesco and waitrose so far, was thinking of trying beanies, I'll have to pop up there after work, I think they're open lateish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Squashie28   10 #6 Posted January 31, 2005 You will definetly find them all in Holland & Barretts, they do all these foods as they promote Dr Gillian McKeiths suggested diet & Nutrition plan.  I believe that Quinoa is just like porriage which you have in the morning for breakfast.  Hope this helped  Jo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
beckyaa   10 #7 Posted January 31, 2005 Try Julian Graves - they have a department in Atkinson's on The Moor.  http://www.juliangraves.com/?PageID=6  There's a little shop just up from Scotts Pantry (near Red Hot Chilli) on Glossop Road that is similar to Beanies.  Or try Waitrose - they have a good selection of more unusual ingredients.

neeeeeeeeeek   10 #8 Posted January 31, 2005 You can get Quinoa from the Wicker herbalists in town and red Quinoa from The evil that is Holland and Barrett. Red stuff seems a bit chewy. I think the wicker herbalist will have quite a few of the other things as well. Also Waitrose is quite good or the health food shop near hunters bar roundabout is another place to try.

ginamoi   10 #12 Posted February 1, 2005 Originally posted by bassman-x I don't even know what quinoa is!  mmmm quinoa is really nice, and yes Zed's in Nether edge is a one stop shop for all these ingredients, they're great, also u might be able to find them in New Roots opposite the hallamshire hospital if u're going in the direction of west street, or the New Roots on the top of burngreave road opposite burngreave library, and also Nature's Trail on hunter's bar on the corner of the roundabout opposite the park, and of course the Wicker herbalist in town though it's not particularly a food shop..
