They remind me of water chestnuts in texture, but they have a unique pleasant flavor. They are good additions to stir-fried dishes, and to assortments of crudites. Here in California they are widely available in most grocery stores. Elsewhere I couldn't say. Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (decvax!sytek!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
