Where can I find...

[tootsi]

I am looking for a place on line or catalog to find unusual ingredients. I live in a small town and many things are not available,

I can't help you with that, but I can sympathise with you. I know what it is like to be surrounded with shops that say maple syrup is a seasonal item.

why not purchase spices from this site?

[shipscook]

my favorite for spices, herbs, extracts, and soup bases is PENZEYS Spices Home Page
I will pull up other sites and post later.

Actually is Prescott that small? a search shows 40,000 residents and a pretty interesting demographic. I would think there would be Asian and Hispanic markets for sure and possibly others?

more later,
Nan

here is a great source for grains, etc. You should also be able to find many of their items in the health food department of bigger supermarkets--
Grains, Beans, Seeds - Bob's Red Mill (Page 2)

I have not used this on, but it is highly recommend on another forum--
Gourmet and Specialty Food Items

Here is another--a coworker of mine often leaves their products behind in the galley and I find them nice-- Gourmet spices, herbs, essential oils, potpourri, green tea - bulk and wholesale

I used Zingerman's | Food by Mail | Gifts & Sundries to purchase fennel pollen because that was the only souce I could find. They have great stuff, but a bit spendy.

You can also do searches for specific items?

enjoy,
Nan
