They are also called Jerusalum Artichokes, cause the root tastes like an
artichoke. By the way, I worried and worried all winter if my Thai ginger
was going to sprout. Well, they have sprouted in full glory! Can't wait
to
taste this tuber!


So if I like to eat artichokes, would I enjoy sunchokes? I haven't seen
them in my local super. How do you prepare them? I'd like to try one
before planting them. I wonder if they are grown here in Western
Washington.


We peel and slice and add to our salads raw. Think of small easy to
grow tuber similar to Hicama that has small sunfowers on eight foot
plant.
