Jerusalem artichoke is a versatile plant and a close relative of the sunflower. We’ll tell you how you can grow the Jerusalem artichoke tuber yourself.<\/p>\n

In the 17th century Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus<\/em> ), also called Jerusalem artichoke or earth pear, arrived by sea from South America to Europe. Initially, the brown or red tuber, which tastes a bit like the artichoke ( Cynara scolymus<\/em> ), was reserved for the rich and aristocratic. Later, however, it spread increasingly among the people and was an important staple food for a long time.<\/p>\n

Over time, however, the potato ( Solanum tuberosum<\/em> ) replaced the fiber-rich tuber and thus Jerusalem artichoke was forgotten until it was used as fodder. For some time now, Jerusalem artichoke has been back in fashion and is again being grown by hobby gardeners. But when do you plant Jerusalem artichokes? And what do you have to consider? We explain step by step how you can grow and cultivate Jerusalem artichokes in the garden yourself.<\/p>\n
