Sunchokes!

Date: April 11, 2010 03:01PM Well, I just discovered these funny looking babies at my local green market at Union Square in NYC. The sign above the bin said they were delicious eaten raw--- and they are!
I am trying to eat outside my usual repertoire of sameness- and now that the weather is warmer, the markets are offering up some interesting things. Anybody prepare these in a way other than just slice and eat? Re: Sunchokes!

my daughter grows tons of these. she sells them to our local market. besides slicing and eating (eat the peel too by the way!) you can put them in salads. shred if you want. i dehydrated many pounds of these and then i ground them up in my vitamix. i filled capsules and take a couple everyday. if you don't already know...these are packed with good stuff! they are a prebiotic too! jennifer  Re: Sunchokes!
