I used to buy these little guys at the Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco. Where else can I find them? If you live in cities outside of the Bay Area, please let me know as well. Who knows, perhaps I will be there one of these days. Mon Jan 01 22:00:23 -0800 2007 61426 grocerytrekker 1 2146618 Don't know if these count as "natural", but I like the Panda brand at Trader Joe's.

They were sliced thinly into diagonal chips (Cut from a pretty large root, looks like) When you pop them in your mouth, the flavor seeps out easily. Am having some right now. Yum.

A friend said they have them at SFO for $8. Sun Jan 28 10:32:03 -0800 2007 2143944 10677 hhc
