Where do they sell quinoa in Kuwait?

I buy it at Spinney’s in Dubai and is available at many stores in Dubai. Possibly Sultan can bring it? By the way, I have requested Sultan to bring coconut water. I brought them a sample of a very good brand that I bought at Spinney’s in Dubai. Our diets are very important in curbing illness like diabetise. Quinoa is a great alternative to rice!
Sultan and other supermarkets sell quinoa but sometimes they run out. The link I gave you always have it in stock and deliver to you.
I’ve heard that they have coconut water in TSC but I’ve never managed to get any before they’ve sold out, so hopefully they’ll now bring some more!
I see Quinoa at pretty much every jam3iya I go to in Kuwait
They sell Quinoa in TSC too. Can I confirm if this is on Monday or it’s on Tuesday (26th) Thanks
Sorry it’s Tuesday not Monday, I thought we were Saturday today…
Would be better if you could make today Saturday… Please?! 😉
Why are you going to Sultan? They constantly go out of stock on things and I’ve seen the EXACT same item be sold for literally twice as much in Sultan as in the jam3iyas.
Coconut water is available in Lulu pretty much always
seriously guys – google ethical issues of buying quinoa
I did. The first hit was:
https://www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2013/01/quinoa_bad_for_bolivian_and_peruvian_farmers_ignore_the_media_hand_wringing.html
It’s not a very good rebuttal though, is it? “They’re exaggerated” is not “they are false”, and presenting NEW issues that weren’t considered in the other articles isn’t exactly making the case for why we should eat it.
also having just been to Sri Lanka and realising that though Sri Lanka exports masses of tea to other countries and that is clearly doing well for the corporations, the tea left behind for Sri Lankans to consume is of the shittiest quality possible (my friend in Sri Lanka is a tea aficionado).
THat’s just tea – what happens when it’s the nation’s STAPLE food?
seriously the trendiness of all this shit is exacerbated by countries like Kuwait that would rather die than be at the tail end of a trend
Do I have to eat it to be trendy and hip or is it enough to sell tomatoes in shakshoka market?
i dunno if doing one thing will ever make you trendy enough. Shakshoka will make sure you are SEEN by all the ‘trendies’ but if you eat quinoa, you’d have to do it outdoors for it to be of any real social benefit. Tough break man!
Sell organic quinoa at shakshoka market. Genius.
