DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Our friends at @diginn have been serving sunchoke on the menu for a while, and people loved it when they tried it, but probably wouldn't have picked it up at the market on their own. -

unconventionalbaker 9yr I've been growing my own for a few years now. A good low maintenance perennial 🌱 Tastes like a cross between a potato and mushrooms to me. The flowers are pretty too.

Riki These lovely flowering chives are great perennials to grow in one's garden or in the pot-plants. I grow them and propagate them and they keep coming back each spring and never disappoint.
