Eat: Goodness Me! Natural Food Market, Ontario, Canada

I found a great natural food market in Ontario, Canada. With 9 locations throughout the western part of Ontario, Goodness Me! Natural Food Markets are a great option for people outside of Toronto looking for healthy food choices and specialty items. Locations in Guelph, Mississauga, Waterloo, Waterdown, Burlington, Brantford, Barrie, and two locations in Hamilton cover most of western Ontario. I checked out the store in Burlington, as it was close to one of my golf tournaments.

Fun displays make the store inviting. I really enjoyed looking for items I had not seen before including gluten free breads, pastas, cookies, etc. I found the Canyon Bread Gluten Free "Rye" Bread I had been hearing about, but never could find. Also, I found Tolerant Pasta made from black beans and red lentils. 

The hot bar has some great options. With information about allergens listed right on the glass, choosing the safest option for your needs was easy. Many people stopped at the hot bar to grab lunch or dinner to take home.

Another exciting feature in Goodness Me! is the separation of gluten free items in the bakery section. I did not inquire about preparation methods, but notice the top shelf has gluten free items wrapped in red wax paper and red handled tongs to designate their gluten free status. I have not been to many health food stores where the bakery had gluten free options.

Goodness Me! also had a great health and beauty section with a great selection of vitamins, protein powders, lotions, and other essentials. If you are in Western Ontario, be sure to check out the local store. The one in Burlington was definitely my go-to during my golf tournament.
