Description: Plant the tubers four to six inches deep in any garden soil and make sure their "eyes" are facing upward—sunchoke tubers are similar to potatoes. It grows well in any garden soil and grows well in containers too.It's very easy to grow, and even will grow from a tiny piece that you left behind accidentally when harvesting. ** You will receive 5 sprouting tubers, similar to first picture. ** Plant as soon as possible for best results. Sunchokes are a great source of iron, potassium, thiamin, numerous minerals, and an especially good source of inulin which some say helps to stabilize blood sugar (we make no claims, do your own research). They are high in fiber, and it is claimed sunchokes help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and act as a prebiotic. Best of all, you can easily grow sunchokes in any size yard or even in containers on a porch. This is an unusual red Jerusalem artichoke variety we prefer over the various white varieties we have grown.We find them sweeter, somewhere between carrot and parsnip in flavor, very much like water chestnut, crunchy and delicious when sliced raw with some vinegar and soy sauce. They are also great when steamed, fried, added to stew, or otherwise used just like or with potatoes. Bottom line -- a superb choice among the many varieties of sunchokes out there. These sunchokes were grown in the fertile Nooksack Valley which has some of the most nutrient rich soil anywhere. We only supplement with organics, and do not use pesticides or weed killers. This red variety will produce fewer but larger tubers with some weighing more than eight ounces.
