Heaps of places sell it. We eat it all the time in my house. It is a fantastic grain and is the only one that is a complete protein.

Not sure where you are located but try:
Seijo Iishi (lots around town)
Kinokuniya
Natural House (Omote sando)
Kaldi Coffee Farm

Plus I would try a good depachika say in Shinjuku like Halc and Tokyu Hands.

yeah, read a lot about it, seems overall a very healthy thing to eat. i'm doing an anti-candida diet, and while my system has recovered enough that i can handle genmai, i think using quinoa would be better for me. as difficult as it's been, it's also been very educational. i'm trying to get my family to eat better too but it's been a tough sell.

recently found more stuff on this diet i can eat so i've found a new appreciation for satsumaimo! finally starting to put a bit of weight back on, as i was borderline underweight.

Not sure where you are located

i'm approximately located in the middle of buttf-ck nowhere, shimane.

Seijo Iishi (lots around town)
Kinokuniya
Natural House (Omote sando)
Kaldi Coffee Farm

i'll see if any of these places have a presence in the chugoku area, with hiroshima being my best bet, i guess, if there's nothing in matsue.

edit: or get a catalog and order.

thanks so much!

There used to be piles of Brazilian grocers in the MAG area (Mie, Aichi, Gifu). The closest one I saw to your location (not really all that close) was in Tsu City, Mie.

The FBC might be one source, but probably not easy on the pocketbook...
