Perennial sunflower grown for its potato-like tubers. Tender with a sweet, nutty flavor, enjoyed raw or cooked. Directly after harvest, the carbohydrates are in the form of inulin and are good for dieters and diabetics. One of our few indigenous vegetables, used by Native Americans in the northern U.S. and Canada. Besides its unique food value, the tall 6-8' plants make an attractive windbreak, and the masses of lovely 4" daisy-like flowers have a chocolate scent. We do not ship Jerusalem Artichokes outside the United States.
