Buckwheat

Stakan
#1
I've finally arrived in Bahrain!
I have so many questions now that I am here (even more than I had before I got here).
This might seem like a pretty odd one to start with though -
Does anyone know if you can buy buckwheat here? I've only checked two supermarkets so far, but neither had it.
It must be available  somewhere though. No?

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to check out Geant.

There are lots of health food places and a couple of Geants too. You don't say which area you live.

The Geant Easy in Sar is very overpriced and lousy quality. I live next door so I know!! I still shop elsewhere. Try Geant in Bahrain Mall or the health food stores opposite it

I'm staying in Juffair for now.

I checked Mega Mart and Aljazira so far.
