need: almond powder, banana leaves, black cocoa powder

[ak165]

Almond powder online is always sold out, black cocoa powder is so expensive with the shipping (over 15/lb or sold out) and I really need banana leaves for a vietnamese dish i'm making.
Any idea where to get there? I live in midtown so theres some spanish places on 10th but mostly delis, does whole foods sell it? western beef?

Almond powder - any Trader Joe's (near the almonds), Indian stores (without skin), Fairway, health store or Whole Foods (Bob''s brand)
Banana leaves - Western beef, Indian stores

You can also use parchment paper or foil instead of the banana leaves.

PS Coffee Tea N Spices in Park Slope, Brooklyn sells black cocoa powder and their prices are very reasonable. http://www.pscoffeeteanspices.com/

You can get frozen banana leaves at Western Beef. Almond flour you can get at Whole Foods or Fairway.
