International Foods
When dinner needs a change of scenery, this is the aisle to browse. It gathers pantry staples from kitchens around the world — Thai-style curry pastes, Japanese ramen and sea vegetables, ready-to-heat Indian classics, Vietnamese-style noodle soups — with the same careful sourcing as the rest of the store. Many items carry organic or gluten-free labelling from their makers, so world flavours and short ingredient lists can happily share a shelf.

Small pouches of organic curry paste do a lot of heavy lifting here — a spoonful of green curry or butter masala paste, a tin of coconut milk and whatever vegetables you have on hand, and dinner practically makes itself. For nights when even that feels like too much, shelf-stable ready dishes such as Bombay-style potatoes heat up in minutes, and Vietnamese-style pho and instant ramen cups keep quick lunches interesting.
The Japanese corner of the shelf deserves a special mention. Brown-rice ramen — labelled gluten-free by its maker — gives noodle lovers an option that traditional wheat ramen can't, and dried wakame rehydrates in minutes for miso soup, rice bowls and cucumber salads. If you're shopping around an allergen or a dietary preference, remember that claims like gluten-free or vegan reflect each manufacturer's labelling; the Greenbrook team is always glad to help you compare options.
