Above ground, it produces beautiful, towering flowers that look like classic sunflowers. Below the earth, however, the plant reveals its real treasure: large, edible, and nutritious tubers with a flavor often described as a delicious combination of ginger, potato, and artichoke. They're not related to artichokes, but their distinctly artichoke-like flavor inspired the nickname Sunchoke — sunflower + artichoke!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese hearty underground tubers have long intrigued naturalist chefs, home gardeners, and food lovers alike.
