Heirloom Jerusalem Artichokes/ Sunchokes

Jerusalem artichokes are also known as sunchokes. They are tubers that have been preserved through generations. These heirloom sunchokes maintain characteristics like their knobby or smooth appearance and have a texture resembling a mix of potato and radish. I simply adore their subtly sweet and nutty flavour. Typically small to medium-sized, they have thin, edible skin varying in colour from tan to red or purple. Valued for their hardiness and high inulin content, fiber-aiding digestion, they are a favourite among gardeners who value food security.

Available October-November, and again in March-April.
