  • Some good Oahu shops to buy spices?

    I've hit all the big and small chains for thier selections of spices and dried herbs, but now I need to fill in the blanx to round out my new kitchen. Preferring loose to pre-packaged, but all suggestions are welcomed.

      Huckleberry's at the Nuuanu shopping plaza (nuuanu at school st. just a few blocks north of downtown) has a selection of spices in large jars which you buy what you need. they even have asoefetida (sp).

          Celestial Natural Foods in Haleiwa has herbs and spices advertised, but I haven't gone in yet.

            spices can be very expensive. One place that I found that has your standard fare of spices sold in sets and for a rather cheap price is Ross.

            I was surprised at this find while shopping one day there while looking for cafe or bistro themed paintings for my kitchen. Actually Ross is an excellent place to get quality things cheap to outfit your home, especially kitchens.

              Cliche as it is, you can't beat the bang for the buck at Costco and Sam's Club. You get that HUGE bottle of McCormick's spice, herb or other seasoning for the same, if not lower price than what you'd pay for the teeny little bottle from the supermarket.

              The challenge is USING all of it before it gets too dated and effective in flavor.

              If you're a steak lover, you gotta' try the McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning. Costco has if for less than $5 for the huge bottle. No need nothing else. Just shake that on some big fat juicy rib eyes, then throw the buggahz on da' hibachi. Kiawe wood helps too. Whinnahz!

                  If you ever go to Kokua Market please say hi to my friend Francis Dote who works there and is the director for The Early School nearby. Yep even elite preschool directors need second jobs too!

                          My first picks would be the three health food stores already mentioned. Selection and price is good. You don't have to buy a whole bottle of something that is expensive or rarely used.

                            Picked up some stuff from Celestial yesterday. Impressive selection, if not huge, but now I've got to find a bunch of air-tight containers and a sensible way to rack them all.
