The Jerusalem artichoke, also called sunroot, sunchoke, wild sunflower, topinambur, or earth apple, is a species of sunflower native to central North America. It is cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable. The tubers can be eaten raw, cooked, or pickled. Jerusalem artichoke has an underlying sweet taste because of the fructose, which is about one and a half times as sweet as sucrose. You'll receive 3 bare root plants in a resealable bag (they may or may not have tubers, depending on the time of year that you place order, but guaranteed to grow). Please plant them as soon as possible after you receive it. Jerusalem artichoke are very easy to grow, almost require no care & come back year after year. Plant once, enjoy years!
