Does anyone know of a good health food shop with an extensive range? I've been to the one in Lagos which is ok but not brilliant.
I'm also after spelt flour/bread any ideas where I can get it?

Can't help with the healthfood shop blue, but excuse my ignorance, what is spelt flour/bread ?

It's an ancient type of wheat, people who can't tolerate normal/modern wheat are able to tolerate spelt wheat apparently.

Hi you can get it by internet order from: http://www.sharphampark.com/?gclid=CKGB ... Ggodg0DFAw

Be careful though it is not tolerated by everyone, if you have a gluten intolerance then the gluten free flours are better. : http://www.dovesfarm-glutenfree.co.uk/g ... flours.htm

Thank you for that, both sites very interesting, especially the gluten free one but I don't think they deliver to Portugal, I will contact them to find out.

LJ that's really kind of you but I'm going back to the UK in November to see the kids, Christmas shopping etc. I know there is a very good health food shop in Guildford that stocks it so I can get some then.
Thank you
