Sunchokes: A Nutritious and Versatile Crop
At Grow Your Garden with Sal, we’re excited to grow and share the incredible sunchoke (also known as Jerusalem artichoke). This versatile and hardy root vegetable is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, sunchokes are a fantastic addition to any garden or kitchen.
What Are Sunchokes?
Sunchokes are the tubers of a sunflower variety native to North America. They have a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a texture similar to potatoes when cooked. Rich in fiber, particularly inulin, sunchokes are a great choice for those seeking to support gut health and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
