Rose Water

[torontovore]

Has anyone seen Rose Water for sale? A location in north-central Toronto or anywhere up Yonge Street, even past Aurora, would be best, but I'll go where I can find it. It's an ingredient in a number of sweet or dessert recipes that I'm making. I'm NOT looking for the cosmetic variety which I think contains glycerin and is used as a body lotion. Any help would be appreciated.

Nasr foods (Lawrence just west of Warden) definietly has it. Check the ethnic food section in most No Frills stores.

There's a great Middle Eastern (Turkish, I think) grocery store on Avenue Road, north of Lawrence that should have it. And I am totally, completely blanking on the name right now. Begins with an "A". Anyone?

That would be Ararat and they're Armenian.

Thank you, that's the one!

It's easy to find now. I see both orange and rose water in Loblaws and No Frills stores. Any Greek or Middle Eastern food store would carry it, too.

The one I saw it at was at Dundas and Islington but I would assume they would have it at any Rabba's Fine Foods...and it was the edible one as I was looking at it as I needed it for Gulab Jamuns once. I would assume any East Asian market would have it also.

I saw it once at Rabba's

Hey that's great! I just called Rabba's (Yonge at 401) and they confirmed that they have it in stock. And they're open 24hrs. Much appreciated Mikejor.
