Another Ottawa citizen checking in!
I've found a few good lowcarb discoveries recently.
Morala Trading on Bank St has Davinci SF syrups! This is the only place in Ottawa that I know of that carries them.
Kardish Food Market in the south end (near Bank and Hunt club) now carries the Atkins muffin mixes as well. The Banana Nut muffin mix only has 2 carbs, and does not taste low-carb as well. I hate chemical tasting products, and these things taste genuine! They also have the Atkins Morning Bars as well.
I had a little chat with the clerk (manager?) of the Kardish store above, and asked him if he is expecting more low-carb stuff. He said that last week he was at a trade show in Toronto sponsored by Atkins, and they are slowly adapting to the labelling restrictions imposed by the Canadian government. He assured me that in 6 months there will be so many different low-carb products available it will make my head spin.
Also, I asked him about carrying Keto products and he said that the Keto distributer is not returning calls. He speculated that they are having problems making sure that existing resellers have enough stock and they can't supply stock to new accounts.
One more thing, be carefull with Splenda in the big box. While it's listed as having 0 carbs, they use a LOT of maltodextrin as filler so it can be measured the same as regular sugar. You should count 24 carbs / cup of granulated Splenda.
