I went to Super H Mart thinking they had some stocked readily, but couldn't find it anywhere in either the produce or frozen areas. Did I miss it or do they not sell it? If so, where have you seen it? Am I thinking Great Wall?

I'm craving a pork stock made rice with lotus root (or ribs and lotus soup), so I wanted to make some, but of course, am missing the key ingredient. Virginia recommendations preferred, as I live in VA, but wherever is key!!!

Thanks!! (can you sense the urgency of a mad woman?!) laugh.gif

I saw it last week at the Grand Mart on Little River Turnpike in Annandale.

I thought Super H definitely carries it but didn't pay attention lately. I will ask them this weekend.

I asked someone in produce and they gave me the strangest look. huh.gif

but did you ask in Korean? They have lotus root in the cooler on the wall where the milk and dairy products are but they may be pickled lotus root. I've also seen them fresh in the produce section. Grover will (bad pun alert) "root" them out if they have them...

I was at dana bazaar in rockville on saturday and they definitely had the frozen sliced stuff in the frozen section and i think, but am not sure, that they had fresh ones too.

They used to have fresh lotus root at the Alexandria Whole Foods, but now they just carry it in plastic water filled bags. Unfortunately, these have absolutely no flavor.

Thanks for the sightings! I ended up finding some at Great Wall. smile.gif
