Jerusalem Artichokes!

Although my CSA harvests lean heavily toward the most popular produce items, I do like to throw in some less common foods. One of these this year is Jerusalem Artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus), or Sunchokes. I like to brush them with olive oil and roast them in the oven with other roots, or to chop them into my minestrone soup. They have a mild, nutty flavor and are high in iron and fiber.
As a crop in the garden, they are super productive – my patch yielded about 3.5lbs per row foot! They also store well, allowing me to round out the CSA shares late into fall and through the winter.
I’m glad I planted them… but my 375 row feet was a bit more than I needed!
