I will be making Kheer (Indian rice pudding, with rosewater and pistachios) for an event at my daughter's school, and I am out of rosewater. I used to get it at Beverages & More at Jack London, but I didn't see it there my last two trips, and it's a pain to get there by public transit, anyway.
This needs to be food-grade rosewater--often times essential oils are not edible!
Does the Alameda Natural Grocery have it? Are there any shops specializing in the foods of certain cultures that have it.
I'd also love to get some orange flower water, if someone knows where on the island I can get it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Where can I buy rosewater on the island?
Tue, November 13, 2007 - 4:00 PMIt's unlikely you will find rosewater on the island. I've tried finding many SE Asian/Indian products on the island without avail!!! But there is a store in San Leandro you can find all of that it's called "Santos" It's an Indian store/distributor. I found it by accident. I usually go all the way to Berkeley to get my Indian products.
Santos Spice Products
1188 Montague St
(between Alvarado St & Teagarden St)
San Leandro, CA 94577
(510) 357-0277
Ohhh grrr...you are taking public transit.
It's on the same block as Marina Shopping Area...just turn right at the end of the block and you'll see Santos sign straight ahead. About a block down. -

Tue, December 18, 2007 - 8:10 PMYep, definitely has it because I just bought some there....but I can't remember the name of it! Ack! From the range of products sold, my guess is that it's Eastern European. And it's on a corner. Great new addition to the island! -

Tue, December 18, 2007 - 8:20 PMis that the place on the corner of Lincoln and Webster with big, bright windows with no sign?
I'm curious now because it sort of looked like just another corner market, only cleaner. So I've not bothered to go in. -

Tue, December 18, 2007 - 8:37 PMI think so (I was walking and not being mindful of what street I wandered onto Webster from). Go in! It's got some fun stuff! I miss our Afghani market, but this has some stuff from Eastern Europe clear over to the Mideast (ie- labne). -

Sat, December 22, 2007 - 6:46 PMThis may be too late, but I just saw it at Nob Hill. $3.99 in their hard liquor isle...right between the hot buttered rum mix and the angoustina bitters.
btw, I'd love to have your Kheer recipie -
