Bulk stores are probably the best place to find it. Ones that also have a health food section will carry it for sure.

I had to google to learn what it is..
Quote:
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)
Quinoa originated in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia, where it became a staple crop of the Inca empire. By comparison with most cereals it is rather primitive, requiring dehulling to remove bitter seed coat saponins. Considerable quinoa is sold in Canada as a gourmet item in health food stores, in the form of whole grain, pasta, or flour. Quinoa is considered to have some promise for Canada, and there is a Canadian Quinoa Association (Anon. 1992). Currently available forms are late-maturing, therefore vulnerable to frost, and are also susceptible to insect damage. Quinoa would appear to have some possibility for development through germplasm selection in Canada, but is likely to find a more receptive area of cultivation in other countries. In the US, quinoa seems to represent one of the relatively few apparently successful introductions of a new food plant (Johnson 1990).

Bulk Barn has it at a good price. Superstore as well but way overpriced.

Hmmm I thought Bulk Barn had locations all over Canada but I guess they're all east from Manitoba.

I've seen in the health food section in Bob's Mills packaging.

Cool. I will check out sobeys for it as well then. I discovered recently that co-op out here carries it as well. Although it is pretty expensive. Well as expenive as organic oats, which are also expensive in my books!
