I believe I have seen then at Super 88 in Allston as well as at Farmer's India Market in Waltham.

I am not sure if they are "Always There" or only sometimes.

88 frequently has them. Friday is when they usually get in large shipments of fresh veggies, so check them Fri evening/Sat morning.

NOTE: Although the big sign on the roof says '88', they actually go by the name of 'Hong Kong Supermarket.' But that's just for legal and search engine purposes, everyone in the area still calls them 'The 88.'

Good info-- I'll check on my way to work tomorrow morning. Thanks!

a winged bean is. Having googled it, I think I've seen them in an Asian market somewhere once upon a time, but can't pinpoint it. Burlington H Mart, maybe? An Indian market?

I have seen these at the H Mart in Quincy.

I'll check H Mart again-- the one in Cambridge didn't have them but one of the workers is pretty sure they've had them in the past.

I'm not sure if they're grown in the US anywhere or if they're imported-- I guess in Japan they're mostly available April-September, but I don't know if there's a season for them in the Americas.
