Jerusalem artichokes are also a great source of iron, potassium, and vitamin C, making them a nutritious addition to any diet.
GROWING CONDITIONS
Jerusalem artichoke is a hardy perennial that can grow up to 2-3 meters tall, producing bright yellow, sunflower-like flowers. It thrives in well-draining, fertile soil and prefers full sun. The tubers grow underground and can be harvested from late autumn through winter. Once planted, they are low-maintenance and can spread rapidly, making them an ideal crop for sustainable gardening.
