Earthed Up! - Sunchoke
Helianthus tuberosus - 3 tubers.
Perennial plant for edible tubers harvested in autumn, also a good seasonal windbreak. Grow in sun.
In the sunflower family, so in some summers will produce small sunflowers. Very little care needed.
Contains inulin, which some may find a little hard to digest. Roast like potatoes but not for as long, or can be pickled.
