Rice & Beans

Red Beans & Rice, Pea Soup, Arroz con Pollo, Greek Beans, these are some of our favourite foods that come to mind in this section. We have lots of packaged bulk rice & beans including many different varieties of lentils and a good assortment of organic choices too. Eden makes a vast line of organic tinned beans with no additives like salt or sugar and there's no soaking required! Their can liners are BPA free too. We have some wonderful basmati rices from the USA & India in organic and conventional. Making risotto? We've got arborio rice for that. Rice pudding more your thing? We've got sticky (short) rices in brown or white for that!

So come see what we have and add some legumes or rices to your diet!

We strive to take every reasonable precaution to avoid cross contamination but this is a bulk food establishment so we cannot guarantee foods haven't come into contact with specific allergens. We do offer manufacturers' certified options for many of our bulk products

Coffees & Coffee Substitutes

Ah, the aroma that lures us out of bed in the morning or keeps us awake late at night while we work, Coffee. There's really nothing like it. We carry a wonderful line of Organic & Fair Trade Coffee, The Ultimate Bean,  that is locally roasted and delicious! Their decaf beans are swiss water decaffeinated, no chemicals used. It comes in bean form but we have a grinder right in store. If you'd prefer it pre-ground, we have a couple of pre-ground varieties too.

Alternatively, if you're looking to get off the pot (coffee pot that is), try these delightful options: Teeccino makes several flavours of ground-bean coffee substitutes and is made of chicory, dandelion, carob, barley and several other ingredients depending on the flavours: Vanilla Nut, Hazelnut, Java, Mocha and so many more. Krakus is our other coffee substitute - for the instant-coffee crowd - and we have carried it for as long as we've been open so we know it's good. Come in and see what shakes you!

Teas & Tea-Making

This is a huge category for us! We have an immensely large line of loose teas that we bag and an almost equally large boxed tea selection! You can tell we're crazy about teas here at Foodstuffs.

Our loose tea selection tends to be more medicinal in nature but also includes white & green teas, special teas like Cherry Blossom green tea or Popcorn (genmaicha) green tea and the popular matcha tea. The more medicinal varieties include peppermint, nettle, yohimbe, neem leaf, elderflower & berry, slippery elm, turmeric root and so many more.

Boxed teas come in so many varieties too. Black teas include the Twinning's line and Yorkshire Gold with its hard-to-find Decaf Yorkshire which is amazing. Other popular lines of green and herbal teas include Clipper (organic & fair trade), Touch Organic, Traditional Medicinal, Algonquin Tea, and so many others. Come in and get out of your old box (into a new one) today!
