It's coop, it's extra!…read more It's bigger on the inside! No, I kid you not - it's true. I was skeptical when I first went to this supermarket since it looks so shabby and without hardly any windows on the outside, but once you get in, you realise that it's one of those big supermarkets that are pretty much sell everything that you need. Vegetables, organic vegetables (ekologiska, obviously), fish, tons of fish, cheese, butter, meat, gluten free and lactose free products (since we're talking about Sweden) and other household stuff. They have also aisles for imported products - I saw a lot of obscure products in Slavic languages, Reeses peanut butter chocolates and Guiness chips and some fancy microwave popcorn. They have also pretty decent aisle full of Asian stuff, including bambooshoots in cans - that pretty much exist only in Asian shops in Copenhagen. They have good brand of coconut milk (not just the weird Santa Maria or whatever it is called now), rice noodles, egg noodles and pakchoy on the vegetable rack. Ah Sweden, you're the best when it comes to supermarket. Danish ones can't really beat it, not even big warehouse-like one like Bilka. The location is pretty convenient as well, just across Värnhem, sort of smaller bus station where you do your switches if you are not lucky enough to ride buses without change from/to home/work. This has quickly become my supermarket-to-go during my stay in Malmö.

Woahhh! ICA Maxi has some serious competition. Like them, this place has everything from exotic…read moreproduce to cheeses A-Z to a huge lactose-free section. Next to the latter is a whole refrigerated case of Astrid och aporna products as well as a variety of vegan cheeses and spreads. Really impressive selection all around. I am also surprised by how much stuff they have for pets. Of course with all Swedish supermarkets, the alcohol department is lacking. The price is in line with ICA, maybe some things are a little more expensive, but Coop seems to have more variety.

They also have a nice selection of organic teas, some organic personal care products, and a ton of vegan and organic protein and fruit bars. also had a lot of organic chocolate, though the guy working there did mention some of them do contain milk, so check the labels if that's what you're looking for.

Awesome organic, vegetarian (mostly vegan, it seemed) store! They had pretty much anything you…read morecould possibly want in terms of vegan substitutes, as well as produce, pantry staples, a bit of prepared foods, and personal care products. The store was much bigger than I was expecting it to be. My only regret is that I didn't make it over here until three days before flying home. I wanted to try all the things.

This place has the best selection of eko products in Malmo. However I stopped shopping there for a…read morenumber of reasons: - The staff is particularly unfriendly and changes all the time. Their attitude is peculiar: no smile, no hi, they seem like they are just exhausted and having the worst day ever. Try bringing to their attention that a load of bread is completely mouldy and they'll just take it with no comment and ditch it in a corner with a sigh. They don't say thanks, or goodbye. - The exact same base products (for instance eko bread) are available up the 50pc cheaper in shops like coop. Everything is overpriced. The veggies are very sad looking. I have zero positive feeling for this place. They are just here to make money off you basically. You better off growing your own food and buy the rest in regular shops.

This ICA is located in the lower level of Emporia mall. This is the grocery store for the Hyllie…read morearea. They have fresh fruit & vegetables and a deli counter. Meat, fish and Artisan cheese are also available. They used to have a Salad Bar but maybe removed temporarily? This is my stop for Marbou Chocolates given their selection & prices. A good selection of Smoked/Nova Salmon also. As they are close to my usual hotel, this location is perfect for any forgotten travel items and snacks. They do have self serve checkout and are good about opening up more check out lanes when busy. Good to check hours as they are usually open even if the mall is closed. (I.e. they were open on the most recent Bank Holiday.). They do have a separate entrance at the back of the mall. Conveniently located close to the train and bus stations, this is the spot for your grocery needs while in Hyllie.

This supermarket is everything that I ever wanted in Denmark. Only that it's not in Denmark. It's…read moreprobably 15 minutes by train from my place, but it's still in another country. Everything in here reminds me of those giant "hypermarkets" chains that we have in Indonesia. Rows and rows of different vegetables, a huge cool section for meat, their own fishmongers and butchers - and so many different brands and even for people with allergy or just vegans. Swedish supermarkets know to cater them all. My favourite buys from this place? The fresh Asian veggies, the seafood and the cheese in tubes... and oh, the Swedish prepackaged meatballs. LOL Whenever you are in Malmö for a shopping run, do your groceries at the same time!

This is probably my second favourite Helsemin store (my favourite is the one on Vesterbrogade which…read moreis their Copenhagen flagship store). It has a very large range of products at affordable prices and the service is always absolutely top-notch. They have a large selection of cleaning products, make-up, vitamins and sanitary products, something which many of their other stores lack.

The store looked like it carried a wide range of products. They've even had Ben & Jerry's ice cream but the cost was considerably higher than in Vermont, about US$10 per small container. I noticed that the beer in Swedish grocery stores is all 3.2 to 3.8 percent alcohol. You can buy higher percentage beverages but you need to go to a separate type of store. You need to bring your own grocery bags or buy theirs. You bag your own groceries.

There were various booths set up with a number of foods, mostly fruits, veggies, and herbs. My friend who lives in the area says a lot of the vendors just give what they have left at the end of the day to needy people who can't afford to purchase the items. I thought that was a really good idea, and very progressive of them. This area was surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes. There were some benches to sit, and made for good people watching, as well as getting acclimated to the area.

Offerings are raw; veggies, fruits, flowers. Prices are great and business is usually high, especially in Saturdays. Don't expect any ready made foods at this market, but rather run to some of the smaller falafel places around the square. Best coffee break after your shopping is the coffee bar without a name on the corner.
