ckatNM said:songofjoy, are artichoke leaves edible? Just looking at them made my stomach growl, they look yummy. I've never had fresh artichokes. I'm only familiar with pickled artichokes I've bought in jars to add to my salads. They were so yummy. There are probably many other ways to prepare artichokes. I'd be tempted to head out to the garden with a fork for that plant in the second picture..


Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes) are a species of sunflower. They have tubers that are dug and can be eaten raw or cooked. They aren't related to domestic artichokes but are very nutritious and tasty.
