Sahadi Importers, on Atlantic Avenue, in Brooklyn, sells it in bulk,
by weight. I assume they'd have no problem selling you as much as you
want, or as much as they have at any given time. They are an old
Lebanese-American family business, and they originally sold Middle
Eastern food products, but now that they've gone all yuppified, some
of these distinctions have become blurred.
