Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative Sunchokes (Organic)

12 Ounce

Also known as Jerusalem artichokes, sunchokes are not related to the city or artichokes. These tuberous roots look like ginger but are from a sunflower species. Their crunchy texture is similar to water chestnuts and their earthy character is a cross between a potato and an artichoke--a little sweet, a little tart, and very filling. Decide for yourself by eating them raw or roasted, with or without the skin. Try them puréed as soup, chopped up in a quiche, or pickled for a long lasting snack.

Refrigerate in a breathable bag for up to 2-3 weeks; or keep on counter for up to a week. Like apples, use lemon juice to counter oxidation when sunchokes are exposed to air.
