In downtown Reykjavik, you can find three organic and health shops that are very close to and kind of complement each other:

However, if you have access to cooking facilities, you may find the Quinoa flakes (cooking time 3 minutes) very handy. (last check: April 2008) budget tip: If you're into rice cakes... or on a tight budget - they're cheapest at the "Bónus" grocery stores. At least some of them also have the chocolate-covered ones (though not so cheap). Click here for the company's overview of their stores in and around Reykjavik.
