2 pound bag
Description
- Can be eaten cooked or raw
- Low in calories
- Perennial vegetable
Knobby tubers have a crisp texture, much like that of water chestnuts. Native to eastern North America, Jerusalem artichokes, also called sunchokes, are perennial vegetables. Their tubers can be eaten raw or boiled, mashed, baked or fried. Smaller and sweeter than potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes have a nutty flavor—and they’re low in calories, with just 7 calories per 100-gram serving! The tubers can be harvested from fall to spring and store for 2 months.

Notes
Place tubers 4 to 5 inches deep and around 24 inches apart.
The Jerusalem Artichokes are tall plants and need room to spread out and develop the edible tubers underground. I would get as large a container as possible but a bare minimum diameter of 18-24 inches and 12 inches deep.
