Thanks Blam. Jerusalem Artichokes -- generally sold as "Sunchokes" -- are actually American sunflowers, unrelated to either Jerusalem or artichokes. :') The roots (which are what is sold) are prepared similarly to potato, but are reputedly diabetic safe. The "artichoke" part of the name arose because someone thought the taste was similar to artichoke. Cut up one of those tubers and plant them (inside a grass stop, trust me), and you'll always have as many as you want. :'D |

Jerusalem Artichoke
Girasole!
Jerusalem artichoke, that which I planted once, harvested many times...and was dang nie unable to undo my folly.
Helianthus tuberosus
Despite its name, the Jerusalem artichoke has no relation to Jerusalem, and it is not a type of artichoke, though they are in the same family.
