Naturpoteket,

Ask yourself: does the idea of pumpkin butter on sale excite me, not confuse me? Do I want to know my personal probiotic type? If you said yes to the above and/​or like kitchen experiments, holistic living, and kindness, then follow the whiff of patchouli on the street to find a cute neighborhood health & wellness store that is worth a visit if you’re looking for specialty products and knowledgeable staff. They have a little bit of everything here: organic produce, natural make-​up and beauty supplies, jewelry, food products, alternative/​natural medicinals and supplements, tea, and a little bakery counter with raw, gluten-​free, and/​or vegan treats. If you have any questions or need advice on the large supply of supplements and vitamins behind the counter, they are eager to talk about them with you.
Prices are a bit on the higher side but comparable to other stores of its ilk — for example Urtehuset or Naturbageriet. They also always have a few shelves of things that are marked down or half off. Naturpoteket carries some products that are available in other grocery stores for cheaper (the Urtekram line, for example) but they mostly feature a range of products that are harder to find, especially from other parts of the EU or the US. I love their large selection of nut butters and alternative flours — I’m looking forward to making socca with the chickpea flour I purchased here. At three for 25 DKK, the raw date ‘brownies’ in varying flavors are made in a bakery in Århus and they are really delicious if you’re looking for a healthier snack. Warning: you may wander in here and end up impulse-​buying quite a few things, but it’s not the worst place in the world to do so — at least you can feel good about yourself!
