Question for those who have grown Jerusalem Artichokes. Are these little guys edible? I grew some last year and didn't harvest any because other things came up. This spring some came up a little beyond where I wanted them, when I pulled them out these two tubers came up. I figure they are edible so maybe a better question is are they palatable at this point in the year. Thanks

I’m in the south, I’ve tried growing them multiple times. They’ve always had vigorous above ground growth but I’ve never gotten much as far as the roots. Maybe I should try pruning them once mid season or so I’m not sure. I quit fooling with them after a few attempts

If they are firm they should be fine. They are nice sliced fresh in a salad, but we like them roasted.
