Depending on location bean sprouts don't sell before they spoil, and
the stores need to buy a fairly large crate from the wholesaler. The
only Oriental veggies stocked around here is bok choy and napa, and
only a minimal delivery once a week... often I can't buy bok choy as
it's sold out.... I don't list Ginger root in that group but I can buy
that, There are very few Orientals living in this area and only one
Chinese take out in town and their food is disgusting... they sell
something called Boneless Spareribs... I've no idea what cut of meat
it is and I'll never buy it again, tossed it out for the critters.
