Hi all,

I have been trying to locate the following items in Hyderabad. I would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction.

Alternatively, I kindly request members to offer telugu or hindi translations for the following items if they are aware of any:

Nutritional yeast.
Raw coconut oil.
Ezekiel bread [or any other sprouted bread].
Spirulina.
Kamut/ Quinoa/ Amarnath grain.
Roma tomato.
Pure Acai.
Hemp milk and hemp seeds.
Agave nectar.
Pecans.
Black beans, lentils, kidney beans, lima beans.
Sunflower seeds.
Cilantro.

Thanks!

Hi Track2me

You've got quite a list there, I doubt you will get them all in Hyderabad. Mumbai, possibly, but Hyderabad - I don't think so.

However, there are a few things you can get in your regular grocery store in Hyderabad - at Fresh@ or Reliance Fresh. Here they are along with the Telugu and Hindi translations (as far I my knowledge goes) respectively:

Lentils or Pappu or Dhal

Kidney beans or Nalla ChikkuDu ginjalu or Rajma . Sometimes Rajma works in Telugu as well.

Lima beans are known as Butter beans or Broad beans in India. Not sure of their regional names.

You can get sunflower seeds also in the grocery store - usually located near the checkout counter. Again, not sure of the regional names. Sunflower ginjalu in Telugu or Sunflower dana in Hindi should get the point across.

Cilantro is known as coriander leaves in India, Kothimeera in Telugu and Dhania patta in Hindi.

You can enquire about raw coconut oil (Kobbari noone in Telugu and Nariyal ka tel in Hindi) in a small local kirana grocery shop. The shopkeeper would probably understand only Telugu or Hindi. You probably already know that you should look for a non-branded local product. I'm not very hopeful of its easy availability in Hyderabad.

The chemist shops used to sell Spirulina tablets a couple of years back, I'm not sure if they still do that. You could enquire.

For further reference, you could look here.

I hope other members can help you further.

Happy hunting!

roma tomato is known as Bengaluru Tomato. its available almost in all veggie shops/supermarkets such as foodworld, nilgiris, more super markets, fresh @ and chowpal.

Lima beans are also known as Double beans. but i very much doubt you can get them in hyderabad.
