Browsing the Bulk sections is a foundational part of the food co-op experience. Cooperative grocery was born of bulk grains, beans, nuts, and snacks, after all! While we always stay connected to our roots at the Wedge, there is no denying that our bulk selection has evolved greatly since the mid 1970s. As you shop our annual bulk sale for co-op owners, here’s just a handful of the myriad of unique bulk items you’ll find in our bins. Peruse our vast Bulk selection, spanning grocery, coffees, herbs & spices, cleaning and personal care products- and more. Get inspired to bake with buckwheat, pack a picnic for your next hike, or create an at-home spa! Owners save 20% off all Bulk February 21- 27.

• CARDAMOM PODS

Gently toast the pods in a skillet, cool, then grind them in a spice grinder. Use this fragrant, versatile spice in a variety of Indian and Asian recipes, or in sweet breads, rolls, and cookies. Try sprinkling some in your coffee for a Scandinavian twist!

• BUCKWHEAT FLOUR

Our buckwheat flour comes fresh from Whole Grain Milling in south-central MN. Containing more protein than wheat or rye and all nine essential amino acids, buckwheat is a complete plant protein. This gluten-free grain is also rich in phenolic acids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

• FRESH-GROUND NUT BUTTERS

Taste the Wedge difference of pure, freshly-ground nut butters! In addition to changing form before your eyes, our single-ingredient peanut & almond butters are available certified organic. Fair warming- once you taste fresh-ground, you may never want to go back to packaged nut butter!

• ORZO

This ‘pastina’ (little pasta”) makes an excellent soup pasta. Try it in your favorite chicken noodle or veggie soup- a little goes a long way. Or whip up a great simple side dish with salted butter, fresh-cut herbs, and a sprinkle of parmesan.

• EPSOM SALT

In water, epsom salt breaks down into magnesium & sulfate to soak directly into your skin and ease sore muscles & joints quickly and naturally. Avoid the additives by buying in bulk. DIY calming bath blend: combine a handful of dried calendula or rose petals & a few drops of your favorite essential oil into the salt. Try cedar or vetiver to wind down, or grapefruit for a joyful energy boost. Remember to strain petals out before draining the tub.
