Depending on where you live in the U.S., your access to high-quality international food can vary from entire dedicated stores to a few measly shelves in the "ethnic" section of your supermarket. If you love learning about different cuisines and trying new dishes but can't travel a lot, buying international ingredients is the next best option.
If your supermarket doesn't stock specialty ingredients, you can always rely on World Market. Since being founded in 1958, World Market has been selling artisanal furniture, decor, and crafts. But what keeps us coming back is, naturally, the food.
When you explore the aisles of your local World Market, you're bound to discover condiments, snacks, candy, and beverages. And another pro-tip: if you need a specialty spice that you can't find at the supermarket (like sumac, Sichuan peppercorns, or ras el hanout), World Market will likely have it in stock.
If you're curious about what World Market has to offer, we've rounded up some of the best things you can buy on your next visit. Don't live near one of their stores? They also ship anywhere in the contiguous United States, so you can enjoy some of the best international foods without having to deal with customs or import fees.
