YES!! You want to visit North Park Produce.  They have produce to die 
for, all the spices you could ever want .. etc. etc. etc.

There is a NP Produce at 12342 Poway Rd Poway, CA

92064&t=h&iwloc=A&hl=en>Map  their phone number is 858.391.9100

The La Jolla Trader Joe's is north of you? Then maybe you want the NP 
Produce in the center of town.
Here is is a website about them:

The persians that I work with all swear by this place (and I enjoy it 
loads too!).

I go to the one in Chula Vista, but my clinician friend says that the 
Poway one is quite divine.

Good luck!!!
