I had been looking for it for some time but without luck, but a google
search revealed that it was available at Bulk Barn. Since it was my
first try I only bought a small container about half full. On my way
home I stopped at a bargain grocery store and found it on an aisle where
I would not have expected it, and they had several brands. I think it is
cheaper to buy a jar of it. I plan to be using a lot more of it.
