"It's easy to find all the food you need in mega-supermarkets. But if you're getting bored with the same old products, give yourself an extra hour and lose yourself in one of South Florida's many international grocery stores. The effort will open up a new world of exotic produce, unique cuts of meat, drinks, breads, sweets, cosmetics and products unfamiliar to most Americans."
"INDIAN Spice Bazar Fresh Market, 5601 S. University Drive, Davie; 954-514-7861; spicebazar.us Most Americans have probably never heard of brands such as Paras (dairy items) and Maggi (noodles, soups, sauces), but this little market carries these and so many others that are well known in India. There are also fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly ground spices, dals and Indian sweets."
"Sheiks Bakery & Roti Cafe, 184 N. University Drive, Pembroke Pines; 954-441-4895; sheiksbakery.com Groceries at this Guyanese market and restaurant include Caribbean hot sauces, spices and chutneys as well as vitamins and other natural remedies. There's also fresh produce and homemade pastries and breads. Entrees include tandoori chicken and goat curry. The lunch special is a steal: An entree, such as stewed chicken with peas and rice, is only $6.75."
Mega-supermarkets supply basic food needs, but exploring local international grocery stores reveals exotic produce, unique meat cuts, drinks, breads, sweets, cosmetics, and products unfamiliar to most Americans. South Florida, especially Broward and Palm Beach counties, hosts many of these markets, mostly mom-and-pop shops and small regional chains alongside a few larger chains. Spice Bazar Fresh Market in Davie stocks Indian brands such as Paras and Maggi, plus fresh fruits, freshly ground spices, dals and Indian sweets. Sheiks Bakery & Roti Cafe in Pembroke Pines offers Caribbean hot sauces, spices, chutneys, vitamins, natural remedies, fresh produce, pastries and breads, and entrees like tandoori chicken and goat curry with affordable lunch specials. These markets maintain strong local followings and contribute to regional culinary diversity.
