Description: An independent grocery co-operative, provides natural, organic, vegetarian food and environmentally, health conscious products.
Every time I go into Rainbow Grocery, I wish I lived in San Francisco again. It is a wonder of fresh, organic produce, natural foods and body care products, and sustainable household products. But the best thing about Rainbow are the bulk bins. They carry over 800 bulk items: herbs, teas, spices, coffee, over a dozen types of rice, over 30 types of flour, all kinds of beans, whole grains, dried pastas & noodles, oils, cereals, dried fruit, a full olive bar, nut butters, miso, tofu, crackers and chocolate and trailmix, oh my! And on the other side of the store: bulk soaps, shampoos, massage oils, even washing soda. If you can't find something in bulk at Rainbow, it probably doesn't exist.
Recently, I discovered the wonders of Rainbow's bulk handmade pastas. That's right! Bring your own containers and fill them up with different kinds of fresh ravioli or gnocchi. No need for packaged frozen entrees when you can load up on these and freeze them for later. Rainbow rocks!
