Special Diet Labelling Makes it Easier to Shop
Sunday, September 16th, 2012Aliments Papillon Foods, a by-the-pound store, now has a spacious, renovated, and enlarged store. They were so clever when they re-did their bins because they tagged the items with special diet labels: wheat-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, sugar-free, organic, Kosher, nut- free, low sodium, fat-free, or even locally sourced .
In those bins you will find: herbs de Provence, toasted corn nuts, psyllium husks, jelly bellies, blackstrap molasses, 12 kinds of chocolate-making wafers, brown basmati rice, glazed fruits, probiotic cereal, Montreal steak spice, pickling spices, whole nutmeg, flax seed, buttermilk powder and chia seeds.
You can rent one of their 150 cake mold pans, and find many cake decorating necessities, and even buy pinatas. You may be looking for soy beverages, retro candy, or Japanese rice candy. For gluten-free diets, there’s a nice selection of: bread (even quinoa), pizza dough, cakes, cookies, pasta pie dough and frozen dinners. There’s an organic section now, gourmet groceries and chocolate letters ($2.39).
