Another data point: I've only seen them sold by guys walking
around with plastic bags full of them, not on market stalls.
Which suggests they're gathered or else grown on a very small
scale in people's gardens, rather than being a commercial crop.
Could they be a seasonal thing?
I may have seen them in Urfa as well, not sure about that.
When I read your original message my first thought was "Southeast Anatolia".
I'll see if that clue is of any help.
