Jerusalem Artichokes by Roby Jose Ciju

Jerusalem artichoke plants are grown for its edible nutritious tubers which are actually modified underground stems called ‘rhizomes’. Jerusalem artichoke tubers are high in potassium, iron, dietary fibers, niacin, thiamine, copper and phosphorus. Jerusalem artichoke plants are very easy to grow as they are very hardy plants and once roots are established on soil, they tend to grow vigorously with little nutrition and less care.
