Finding grits in Edmonton

[dreamgirl89]

I'm looking for a store in Edmonton (or Calgary) that sells grits. I bought some in the US on a trip last year and I'm almost out and I haven't been able to find any. Suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Great Latino food store called Argyll Foods (Argyll Rd & 99 Street) might be a good place to try. They carry one of the largest selection of Latino foods in the city.

I would also check SuperStore for this one too.

I tried to find some in Calgary. All I found was Bob's Red Mill corn grits (Polenta). It wasn't white grits like you probably bought in the US. I emailed Quaker and was told that they didn't sell any in Canada. I ordered some off an online grocery store.

Never thought to check an online grocery store. Is there one you recommend?

Small grits are just a coarse grind of corn meal, available at any grocery store.

Coarse grits or hominy is harder to find here. You might try a bulk food store or look in the Mexican section for dried cracked hominy, aka pozole. Looks like coarse cracked white (usually) corn.

It was definitely the hominy grits I'm looking for. Are there any grocery stores in Edmonton with a large or decent Mexican food section? I'll have to do so me scouting on my days off.

I know Walmart carries canned hominy. As for hominy grits, I can't guarantee it, but Paraiso Tropical might carry them...
