Jerusalem Artichokes - grown without chemicals

Description: I sell these every fall through about Mid December. After that the ground is frozen too hard to dig. I then sell them again in late March and early April. They always grow. Freshly dug Jerusalem Artichokes. For eating or planting. The large tubers can easily be cut into several for planting. I like to have 4 or more eyes per hill so I get higher production than if I only have one or two eyes per hill. Free shipping. Theses are nice tubers and NOT the skinny ones you sometimes see on Amazon, etc. These can not be shipped to Alaska and Hawaii. Do not order if you are from one of these states. These are grown in richly composted soils, without artificial chemicals. Some tubers grow to over 1 pound each. It is not uncommon to have 6-10 ounce tubers. Look at the photo. They are over 15 feet tall. Others in our neighborhood aren't even 10 feet tall. My soils have been chemical free since 1987. Excellent eating or for planting. Plant these now. I will send you growing and eating information with your order. Eating: Wash well. They DO NOT NEED TO BE PEELED. Slice and eat raw on salads or as snacks. We also like them lightly roasted. Just slice about 3/4 inch thick, rub coconut or olive oil on them and then sprinkle with sea salt. Bake on greased pan at 375 degrees F for about 17 minutes. Longer or shorter time according to the texture you like. We don't like them mushy. We sprinkle more sea salt on top of them just before serving. Evaporated sea water is actually better than the sea salt as it is organically certified and it is only about 75% sea salt and the remainder are sea minerals and organics. I will enclose a sample with your order. Storing: will store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for about 3-8 weeks. Store for months in a 5 gallon pail filled with damp sand in a cool location. Just put a couple of inches of slightly damp soil or sand in the bottom of the pail and then intermix artichokes and soil or sand. Have a couple of inches soil as the top layer. The soil dampness should be the same dampness as if you dug into the soil about 6". Planting: Each node will form a new plant. Plant about 3-4 inches deep and about 2 feet apart. Preferable to plant in the fall or winter but OK up through the end of March. I prefer to have about 4 eyes per hill so I get 4 stalks per hill. They seem to produce more than if there are only one or two eyes per hill. You might enjoy watching the episode on Jerusalem Artichokes from A Chef?s Life: Season 4, episode 8 All Choked UP Our Jerusalem Artichokes are much easier to clean and oxidize significantly slower than those shown on this television show. We have been hand select those we plant each year since 1973 and we think you will be very pleased with them. The relish recipe shown on the TV show is in "Seasoned in the South" by Bill Smith on pages 18 and19. It is an excellent recipe also. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
