Re: largish (grapefrut) sized A. peonifolia?

From: "Randall M. Story" story at caltech.edu> on 2002.04.25 at 02:48:22(8628) When is the season for fresh suran (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius tuber eaten in India)? I checked out one of the Indian neighborhoods in Los Angeles (Pioneer Blvd. in Artesia) a couple months ago--all they had was canned. Does anyone know whether other Asian markets (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese) ever carry it? Do these ever have fresh A. konjac? There are a lot more of those markets (and they're a lot bigger) closer to me.
