Supermarkets just don't sell them and never thought to try a farmers market. I use something similar when I cook. Himalayan pink salt flakes and add them to a mix of cracked peppercorns and a little bit of olive oil and marinate steaks in it.

And once I found this really easy method I make them whenever they are in season. I don't mess with all that trimming..just lop off the top and most of the pointy leaves are gone.
