Sunchokes!

I harvested my sunchokes today! Yay!

Me showing off my sunchokes.

For those of you who don't know, sunchokes aka Jerusalem artichokes aka artichokes grow as tubers on a tall plant with lots of yellow daisy-like flowers. They taste like nutty potato-like deliciousness, contain almost no fat or cholesterol, and give you lots of dietary fiber plus antioxidants, potassium and iron. They were super easy to grow. I just buried a few tubers, watched some lovely giant flowers come up to decorate the garden, and then pulled up the whole plants when they started looking past their prime. Each one had a bunch of tubers attached! Yum!
