AndyPanda Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 There are four sources lakeside you can check: in Riberas, Gourmet Garage and Pancho's; in Chapala, Mi Ranchito Cremeria on the corner behind the central market (the people who opened Gourmet Garage, so I think they both offer the same inventory); El Granero in Ajijic on the highway.

fishcake Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 But do you know if they have black cumin. Not the same as our regular cumin. I shop at them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shop at them all. Checking Amazon MX and MercadoLibre and they only have the oil of the black cumin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Remember, I said places you could check. I think it's pretty slim chances that anyone on this board has bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 El Granero is usually quick to respond. They open at 9. From their FB page, A su disposición nuevo teléfono para WhatsApp. Comunicación más fácil! 3313985830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I believe black cumin is the same as nigella seeds which are easier to find , they have become very popular with bread bakers and are often sprinkled on salads . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ian is correct. Called kalonji in Hindu.There are also Ajwain seeds to consider. Black Cardamon is an interesting choice as well, resinous and funky. Rani Foods in Houston is your best choice for high quality and fresh spices. The Indian spice and rice shop in Guadalajara closed a couple years ago. Ask Magnolia. I met a couple of South Asians who came to Mexico as refugees, but found there was little occupational demand for an expert in Hindu literature. They had found a benefactor to help them setup a little tienda. Don't know if it happened, but Lakesiders would be the last to find out. I usually send to the Laredo TX iShop box, but Rani has announced they can now ship anywhere in the world. edit: I spent a lot of time with the South Asian man discussing, Journey to the West. If you are in the mood to read a fascinating 2,000 page book, the quarantine is the time. Also Journeys of Tripitaka. https://www.icunet.group/en/-the-journey-to-the-west-and-the-most-famous-monkey-in-china/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
