I've always been curious about them, but wouldn't pay the price to taste one. I do know they are very strongly flavored so you don't need much to flavor a dish. Also, like mushrooms, they don't weigh much. It seems pretty poor marketing to price them by the pound. They might sell more if they priced them by the ounce.
They price them by the pound for effect........ego, etc.
