Description

We thoroughly recommend this vegetable that is easily grown but hard to find.You can eat the tubers either raw in salads, lightly fried in butter or stir-fried in Chinese-style dishes, where they will make an excellent substitute to water chestnuts. If you wish you can also steam them. The small tubers have a delicious, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch.

Also known as Crosnes, these are popular in France, yet over here they are usually only ever seen in the most expensive delicatessens and restaurants.

Although related to the mint family, these have a similar growing habit to Jerusalem Artichokes, in that once you have established a bed of these you will be able harvest annually and they will self-perpetuate. An average plant will reach a height of 18" (45 cm) and produce 20-30 tubers.
