The standard ones are all sold in most supermarkets. If you have any interesting or different curry powders or pastes you might want to bring some - I always return from Canada with tons of packets of Thai, Indonesian and Indian curry pastes. <br /><br />As for leafy greens, you can easily find flat kale, which is very much like collard greens. There's also arugula and watercress and many native Brazilian greens available. What you won't find are Asian/Chinese style greens, and for some reason broccoli is difficult to source here in Fortaleza and when you find it, it's very expensive.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JAMESJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255924506325269884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982225847761052856.post-90374431425922814602011-08-28T01:16:25.388-07:002011-08-28T01:16:25.388-07:00Thanks for the recipe, my fiance would love this. ...Thanks for the recipe, my fiance would love this. I have a few questions though, James. Are (bottled) dried herbs easy to find there? Products by McCormick, MasterFoods, etc. for instance. Also, is there a wide variety of leafy greens there? I'm in Malaysia and I love collard and mustard greens in my daily diet so I'm a bit worried I might miss them once I go to Brazil to be with my fiance. Thanks. - LindaKyotoRain (京都雨)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12932753002642370619noreply@blogger.com
