When you’re trying out new recipes, the bulk-food aisle can be one of your best friends. After all, you can buy as little or as much of an ingredient as you’d like.
Want to try quinoa? It’s in the bulk-food section.
Wondering if turbinado sugar is for you? Bulk-food section.
Pepitas? Yep, you guessed it, bulk-food section.
