[chow guy]

My wholesale source for Black Salsify or oyster plant has gone out of business. I'm having a very difficult time locating a whholesale source, Any ideas? Thanks.

I tried Google, and called or e mailed several of the sources listed..including the big Dutch importer that suppies it to the US.

I called and left messages on salespersons voice mails at several wholesalers, but no one has returned my calls or e mails. I even called one Wholesaler in CA, twice. I know it a very uncommon product, but I never dreamed I would have such a hard time.

[how about asking a manager at your local Whole Foods where they/you might get some, or asking your local high end restaurant where they source their salsify from?

i googled "black salsify recipes" and got this
