Fox Nuts -- Where to buy in Pa./NJ?

[Guest guest]

I'm looking for 1/2 cups' worth of " fox nuts " (chieh shek) and have

been on the phone and Internet all morning trying to find what they

are and where I can get them. Does anyone have any idea or a

reliable supplier?

 

I've called 3 grocers (2 Asian, 1 Indian) that are close, and tried

to call a recommended herbal shop in NYC (it doesn't exist . . .

recommended from an herbal book I just bought!), tried Wegman's and

other stores. No one's heard of them, much less where to get them.

 

So I'm appealing to this list. I'm trying to make 4 ingredient

barley soup this weekend (fu ling, barley, parsley, fox nuts), and

just need these nuts.

 

Any help you could offer would be wonderful. Many thanks.
