Artichoke - Jerusalem

Artichoke - Jerusalem is a unique, nutritious root vegetable that's actually not an artichoke but a variety of sunflower with edible tubers. These knobby, brown-skinned tubers have a crisp texture similar to water chestnuts and a sweet, nutty flavor reminiscent of artichokes. Easy to grow and highly productive, Jerusalem artichokes are perfect for gardeners seeking low-maintenance crops. They can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, or used in soups and make an excellent alternative to potatoes.
