The Jerusalem artichoke — also called sunchoke and sunroot — is a fascinating and beneficial plant. What makes this humble tuber a star?

I had never actually heard of this plant before 🤯

The Wikipedia page has some more interesting details.

    I’ve managed to kill a few attempts at growing it, but then I manage to kill most plants, so I’m not the best example lol
    Will be trying again once I get through an upcoming house move.

    The reason I’ve been trying to grow JA specifically is because it makes the most delicious soup, I grew up eating (sadly I don’t have a recipe, but would look up JA and potato soup and see which result sounded best).

    Aaaaaaaand, now I really want some of that yummy yummy soup… 😂
