And they are packaged in cheap plastic that's been sitting around in all sorts of adverse conditions. Seeing these in their glass mason jar, looking so artisanal , I had to try them. I was not disappointed - and they were very effective for some intense heartburn I had last night. Do you know why these are sometimes found at the register at Indian restaurants? The clue is in the last paragraph, and, not only are they delicious, they are far less expensive and less dangerous than Zantac, et al. With a reserve of these beautiful seeds in my arsenal, I know I can eat whatever spicy foods I desire! If I can control myself from eating them like candy and remember they are medicine!

Banh mi Ba was closed today because they aren't open on Tuesday so I decided to get a sandwich from the Good Earth deli. It was meant to be a tofu banh mi -- It was on sourdough baguette with a pair of massive slabs of baked tofu. I give them credit for the delicious Japanese style pickle, but there simply wasn't enough of it and the scanty slices of daikon were OK, but ultimately this was better as a salad without the bread and added vinaigrette myself. Those chunks of tofu were undeniably tofu, but it was just not a great sandwich experience. The funny thing is, I had asked a couple of men dining outside the grocery store. If there was anything they recommended at the deli. They both told me what they had ordered and suggested requesting extra barbecue sauce for the brisket because it's quite dry. I was not expecting my tofu sandwich to be so dry but also soggy. I'll stick with Banh mi Ba for my banh mi -- and try other things at good earth going forward. Also, I just want to note that last November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my tire was vandalized by somebody who stuck a knife into it twice in on purpose purposes of the sidewall. They do not have cameras on the parking lot and even Fairfax police said "oh well we can't take reports for things that happened on private property" which honestly makes me wonder what they do when somebody breaks into a house or does something on "private" property. Does that mean laws are not enforced on private property in Fairfax? Stay tuned.

Everything is sold in bulk and you can bring your own containers or purchase theirs. That keeps prices very affordable. The store is clean and spacious and has a great feel to it. The staff was friendly and helpful. We couldn't help but linger, calling out to each other "look at this!" They have a great selection. There are spices I haven't seen before so I know I'll be back. You can weigh the products while you are filling the bags/bottles so you know how much you are spending. One suggestion we have is to consider placing small notes near the products to give ideas for their use (e.g. culinary, medicinal, etc.).

This is one of those places that just kind of feels like home…read more I've been stopping by this market for as long as I've been hiking in the Golden Gate Area, which is over a decade. Some of Good Earth's items are on the super pricy side, but some are also reasonable. The deli and bakery items are usually pretty good. This was the first place I ever found Sjaak's chocolate. Sadly, they no longer exist, but I used to always stop by for their Hearts of Cherry after hiking around Mt Tam. Today I stopped by for whatever looked good enough to buy, which happened to be a pesto chicken calzone from the hot deli case, a slice of chocolate cake that looked too good to be $5, some roma tomatoes, and a blueberry banana water. The pesto chicken calzone had decent flavor, but it literally had like half a cup of grilled onions on it. Like, there was an entire opaque layer of grilled onion. Adding onions to compensate for less meat is one of the oldest Italian tricks in the book, and is the basis of many great recipes. In this case, it was a little much. Also, the crust didn't have any flavor, but for $10, for this area, it wasn't bad. The chocolate cake was the worst chocolate cake I've ever had in my life. It should have been labeled "iced biscotti," because that's about how dry it was. After a few bites, I had to double check to make sure I didn't accidentally grab an expired piece. It was so dry!! Okay, so, the cake was a mistake, but everything else was good. Their fresh deli pizzas looked AMAZING, but I did not take one home. Overall, the store is very clean, well lit, and merchandised nicely. My only issue is the twinkie sized stall in the ladies room, with a door that opens inward, trapping anyone who is greater than four inches in diameter between the toilet and the door. Sometimes you seriously have to wonder what kind of psychopath designed women's public restrooms. It's like, if you are larger than an actual Barbie doll, good luck getting in and out without touching the public toilet! So, I actually made two separate purchases. First, I purchased the calzone, and took it back to my car to eat. Noticing that I was surrounded by Teslas and eating disorders, I put up my sunshades so that I could eat in peace, without becoming a TikTok reel. After I finished eating, as I was lowering my sunshade, I caught the man parked next to me in the act of taking a video of me, anyway! My car is ugly enough to make a classist person assume that I'm a homeless person, which I'm sure is what happened in this case. Maybe he was planning to post it on social media as an example of how homeless people were ruining his life. When he saw a nicely dressed woman in a brand new, pretty dress (me) he looked shocked. I looked back and forth between him and his phone which was pointed at me, and glared. He lowered the phone and stared at me, wide eyed and jaw dropped, as if he wanted to explain. I glared at him as hard as I could. Classist rich people harass me like this all the time. As a formerly homeless person, I know that in reality, there's no such thing as "looking homeless." People who "look homeless" are usually housed and struggling with mental health issues, while homeless people who live in shelters are usually very well-groomed. But tell that to the classist rich person who thinks it's funny to take videos of other people and post them on the internet to mock them. I wish it was illegal to do that, but it's not. So if I'm posted on "homeless people of Marin" or something, that's what's up, even though I'm very much housed and employed. A calzone with a side of classism. Not the store's fault. But irritating none the less.

We pulled into the parking lot of Santa Venetia Market and dealt with the crazy. Diaper change, feeding, the works. While we were in the parking lot, we noticed a lot of people coming and going, it seemed like people were coming here for lunch. So, we decided to wander in and check it out. The staff here was personable, sparking up conversation and super friendly. We ordered two sandwiches, and I was surprised at how great they were. The sourdough bread was tangy, the meat was sliced super thin (which somehow makes it taste better?) and all the veggies were super crisp and fresh. We stumbled on this place by mishap, but my husband and I agreed it seemed like a place we would actually seek out. Definitely reccomend checking this place out if you're a local, or if you're just passing through!

One of the best things of have this truck within Visitacion Valley is they attract several people from the neighborhood to try their nutritious fruits and vegetables. Jordan, one of the staff, makes free samples of the food with delicious recipes. All of their staff are incredibly nice, friendly and beautiful.
