 Home Gardening Vegetable Varieties - Jerusalem Artichoke This relative of the sunflower produces fleshy tubers you can boil, fry, or eat raw. Tubers can be harvested all winter and are best left in the ground until needed. Keep harvested tubers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to prevent shrinkage. Beware of this plant. It quickly becomes a weed from small tubers left in the ground at harvest. |
