Add Your Opinion About This Plant
The tubers of the sunchoke are somewhat potatolike, but sweeter. The carbohydrate present is inulin rather than starch. Some people think the flavor resembles that of artichokes, but I find the flavor of the tuber is its own. Once planted you will have a supply that self propagates. Sunchokes are a native of the Great Plains of the central part of North America.
The crisp sweet crunch of the raw cleaned and chopped tuber can be added to a mixed musclun salad with cranberries and goat cheese and a fruity vinegarette dressing. Yum.
