洋姜和Yacon
Another root we’re planting right now is sunchokes. Also called Jerusalem artichokes, they’re tubers of a sunflower-relative. Raw, they’re crisp like water chestnuts. They have become popular in recent times because the sugars in these sweet roots are inulin, a form that doesn’t spike your glycemic index. I think these perennials are the easiest-to-grow edible root in our gardens. They have really low fertility requirements, and they’re happy and disease-free through heat and drought.
Sunchokes are ready for harvest around November. In milder areas, you can store them in the ground and harvest as needed all winter. In the north people usually harvest before hard freezes and store in a root cellar. Just be sure that by May you’ve got your sunchokes re-planted at your desired spacing. This will ensure the plants make nice big roots for next year’s harvest.
We’re trying to spread the news about yacon, a sweet, edible high-yielding tuber from the Andes, that’s a relative of sunchokes, but much sweeter. We peel them and eat them raw, out of hand like a fruit, but they’re also excellent sliced in salads. Served this way, we’ve had people mistake them for pears. Both yacon and Jerusalem Atichokes contain inulin which helps keep blood sugar stable, so they’re great for people who have diabetes.
