I'm not in Ottawa...but I have found Quinoa in health food stores, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, online and some bigger grocery stores (Dominicks and Jewel in the organic sections).  Hope that helps.

Duck Soup Co-Op in Dekalb, IL.   But, I would call ahead as they are a small store and do not carry very much of anything.   http://www.ducksoupcoop.com/

Hey thanks for the Whole Foods suggestions.  I am going to Naperville tomorrow to check out Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.  On the main board, there were some folks that suggested shopping lists for Trader Joes any suggestions for Whole Foods besides the quinoa that I will be getting?

The Whole Foods in Naperville is fantastic and HUGE!  When I go I always buy TVP (textured vegetable protein), quinoa, soy crispettes (Cheddar, BBQ and seasalt are my FAVEs), and I hit the deli and buy a variety of their salad-type items (sesame tofu - NOM NOM, curried tofu, blood orange quinoa salad, and anything else that looks or tastes good), and sushi.  I also love their guacamole, but I try not to buy it. I generally roam the aisles looking for new yummy things to try.

At Trader Joes I get crustless quiches (frozen food section), sprouted multigrain bread (higher in protein), greek yogurt (esp. pomegranate), kefir, chocolate covered edamame, frozen marinated grilled eggplant and zucchini, frozen edamame/veggie blend, confetti salad (fresh veggie section), frozen individual fish (usually stuffed), hummus, tofu, spanish white bean "casserole" and lentil "casserole"(they're both in a plastic trays that are inside a cardboard sleeve found in the canned bean aisle), soy crisps (esp. if I haven't gotten any at Whole Foods)and generally roam the aisles looking for good stuff.

Happy shopping!!!!!!!!!!  If you find any "treasures" let me know!
