Description/Taste
Sunchokes are thin-skinned, knobby, potato-look-a-likes. The tubers are the root stem of a variety of sunflower that can grow up to ten feet tall with smallish yellow flowers. Sunchokes are related to daisies and can grow anywhere but in wetlands and marshes. Sunchokes have “eyes” similar to potatoes, with some varieties smooth whereas others are more knobbed. The tubers have a light-beige to tan-colored skin with a crisp, ivory flesh. The flavor of Sunchokes is sweet and nutty with a crunchy texture similar to that of water chestnuts.
