My favorite supermarket in the world probably. It helped me lose like 20 pounds within 2 months…read moreafter first moving to Hamburg and I was reluctant to say goodbye when I left. (getting sad while I write this) There is a huge variety of health food including (every single kind of) nut butters + coconut butter, seeds (no chia in Germany), puffed grains(!!!!), goji berries, cocoa butter(for cooking), coconut oil etcetc. (Although I was never able to find coconut water) Special shoutout to the organic quark here. Produce section is small and vegetables are not always the best looking but I always leave with a heavy heavy shopping bag. It can certainly get busy which makes me feel even worse for holding up lines during checkout (you have to pack your own grocery bags). They only sell paper bags here which are not that sturdy so I always brought my plastic. No credit card accepted.

The supermarket that I shop at, Alnatura is part of a nationwide organic chain with, I think,…read morearound 45 stores across Germany. The selection here is great for an organic place, its just as big as some EDEKA in Hamburg. What I like the most about this place is their in-house brand, of which they have a very good selection of products they sell under their own Alnatura name. The prices on these products are generally very good- around or less than what you would pay for a non-organic name brand except, well, organic ;). Their organic cheese selection is good (I recommend the Demeter Bergkäse) and they always have three or four cheeses that are on sale. The one thing that can get expensive here is some non-house brand things as well as fruits and vegetables- I generally only get what I really need and try to get the rest of my veggies at one of the organic open-air markets with regional producers, which usually ends up saving a few Euros (like the one on the Lange Reihe on Fridays).
