“The sunchoke, or Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), is an edible tuber that grows underground, much like a potato. They look a little bit like large knobs of ginger. They taste slightly nutty and savory like a cross between an artichoke heart and the best potato you’ve ever had.
Native Americans cultivated them and they became a popular crop in Europe after colonization of the Americas. They fell out of popularity until just the past couple of decades”. [the spruce.com] read more
