supposedly have a nutty flavor. can be roasted and mashed like potatoes. they can be as big as a baseball, attached in long strings i just put them in last aug. so hopefully get to try them in early fall. oikios has a good description of their history and how to grow them.
Iāve got sunchokes going in this spring! Husbandsā restaurant has chopped them thin and fried them, makes a good chip!
Oikos differentiates their varieties by saying that some have a āpineyā flavor and some donāt, which i find interesting.

They are similar to potatoes but not as good. I grew them years ago. They spread like crazy after a few years and produced large number of tubers. We tried many different recipes but got so sick of eating them we removed them. The more we ate them the less we liked them.
I hope it doesnāt work that way for me. Iām diabetic and the idea of the INULIN is a great alternative for meā¦Iām a gonna try them ā¦
