## Overview

The Jerusalem Artichoke (Organic) from Yumheart Gardens is a nutrient-dense tuber rich in inulin (76%), a prebiotic carbohydrate that supports gut health. With a natural sweetness 1.5 times that of sugar and minimal starch, it’s a smart, diabetes-friendly choice. These hardy Red Fuseau variety plants grow up to 7 feet tall, producing abundant yields even in poor soil. Certified organic and fresh, this 1-pound pack offers a delicious, health-conscious addition to your diet.

## Description

The artichoke contains about 2% protein, no oil, and a surprising lack of starch. It is rich in the carbohydrate inulin (76%), which is a polymer of the monosaccharide fructose. Tubers stored for any length of time will convert their inulin into its component fructose. Jerusalem artichokes have an underlying sweet taste because of the fructose, which is about one and a half times as sweet as sucrose.[7] Jerusalem artichokes have also been promoted as a healthy choice for type 2 diabetics because naturally occurring fructose, i.e. intact or found within the whole food, is easily tolerated by people - including type 2 diabetics - assuming a diet of normal, i.e. low, non-toxic sugar intake. It has also been reported as a folk remedy for diabetes

Review: All make good plants - They all sprouted and made plants that were 7 feet tall. My soil is poor but I harvested about 1 gallon of sunchokes from 5 plants. Pretty good for a first experience. BTW, they make a lot of gas :( so cooking them in acidic solutions, like lemon juice, may help reduce this effect.
Review: worried 1st year, no longer worried. Acting as a true perennial. - 1st year I was worried. I planted them in an old large round water trough. This second year they have filled it and are about 2.5’ tall rn(mid May) As a perennial the third year should be their major glow-up & I’ll never have to think about them again except to harvest.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can these be grown in some shade? are other vararities better?**
A: They do best in full sun but can tolerate some shade, as long as they get no less then 6hrs of full sun per day..
I have three varieties, Stampede which are knobby, white/tan skinned under a 6' - 7' top with a distinct flavor that's impossible to describe. Either you like them or you don't. I have White Fuseau which is a carrot sized and shaped tuber, easy to clean white/tan under a 10' - 12' top. They have a much stronger flavor which again, you either like or you don't. In soups and stews they have a turnipy/potatoey flavor to me which I like. To my wife, they have a grilled sweetcorn flavor! Due to the Inulin fiber and the carbohydrate which is different than potato carbs, they have a different flavor to each individual. I have a red Fescue which is very similar in appearance to the red Fuseau, except they are as knobby as the Stampede. They have a more nutty flavor which I love raw. They grow under a 7' - 8' top. I don't know what the red Fuseau taste like, but according to what I've found, the red skinned varieties have more antioxidants than the white skinned ones. I live and grow them on a 1 1/2 in-town lot so I don't grow enough to sell. In my area, west-central Pa., they are a common item in flower beds and out in the country.
If harvested in the fall, you'll get the full effect of the gassy Inulin, even though it is extremely healthy for your guts you may not tolerate them well. If eaten in small portions to start with, then eaten regularly, your guts will get used to them and the gas issue will pass! Puns fully intended! If harvested after an extended freeze such as after winter, which I get plenty of in zone 5, the Inulin converts to Fructose making them incredibly sweet, almost like eating candy right out of the ground. Converting the Inulin to Fructose also greatly reduces the gassy effects.
We can ours, plain like potatoes or as pickles and relish. I much prefer them to cukes for canned pickles. I've also dried raw chips and ground into flour. It's a lot like Buckwheat flour. You have to mix it with other flours or you're likely to end up with door stops and paperweights!

**Q: What are all the differences between the red and white types?**
A: Reds are fat and grow very tall.whites are long and thin and grow much shorter. I have had both and prefer the Reds they're easier to peel

**Q: can these be grown in a container, if so how large?**
A: They could be. Ours didn't grow well in S New Mexico ... we have grown them before but these didn't produce over quarter size. Disappointed, but It's worth a try in a large container.

**Q: Can these be planted in July in zone 7a in Oklahoma?**
A: Yes
