Grown organically they are safe to consume.Produces very tall foliage and yellow flowers. Herbaceous perennial. The tubers store their carbohydrate as inulin (not to be confused with insulin) rather than as starch. So, Jerusalem artichoke tubers are a great source of inulin. Commonly used as a dietary fiber. Thin skin does not require skinning and tuber can be eaten raw (in salads). Taste resembles artichoke. 3 tubers per pack or select the value pack.
The season for summer-blooming plants is over. They will be available for reservation again starting August 1.
