This now a little used spice. This has been discussed here several times
in the past. For more information than a single message is likely to give
and some info on other spices, check this file in the PLANTS, HERBS AND
SPICES section of my Stefan’s Florilegium:

spices-msg        (97K)  2/ 4/98    Info. on spices, sources for spices.

This file also has lists of various spice merchants and reviews of them.
A number of these merchants do carry this spice.

My files are on the web at:

If you don’t have web access, I can send any of my files by email in
text or Word 6.0 format.
