HELP where in the grocery store can I find quinoa? This sound great looking forward to trying it.

Quinoa (pronounced kinda like KEEN-wa) can be found in the bulk foods with things like wheat germ and rice. You might be able to find it in the rice/pasta isle as well. I think bulgar wheat can be substituted instead if it's easier to find.
