So, I went to the Bulk Barn. It is a store that sells everything in bulk, you bag it yourself. The prices are not bad, but the selection is amazing.
I have Tahini and I can make hummus. I could make a basic unseasoned hummus and season it as I serve it. That is what I do with my soup. I don't have olive oil, but I could try it without or I could get some.
I got a number of different kinds of nuts in the raw form. That will work for cooking. They had plain shredded coconut. I can't believe how much protein is in coconut. I bought some lentils and rice blends to try. There were many more, but I can try them on another trip.
I got rice flour and coconut flour.
So dinner was an interesting mix and I think a very healthy meat free choice. Even my salad had nuts so I am getting my protein. I will have peanut butter and toast later so my day is well balanced.
You would love this store. It is rows of bins filled with all kinds of good stuff. I am glad they opened one not too far from me.
