I don’t believe any vegetables are overrated, but I do believe some are underrated and in this video, I show you what I think is the most underrated vegetable of them all and why you should grow it. Diversification is what makes a vegetable garden great, so always look to grow underrated vegetables to truly get the most out of your space.

Got me there 🙁 I thought starch was pert near pure protein ?
It's hard to find the red ones here in the states.
I eat them raw chopped into a salad, it's very nice and gives a lovely crunch.
This video was sponsored by the king of Jerusalem, an artichoke.
Careful with your nadgers on that gate!
Interesting. I would love to have a garden
Oh no! Get those tyres out your garden, they leach heavy metals into the soil. Poisoning your food & you! You can use brassicas or sunflowers to soak up the heavy metals and then send to green waste to disperse the metals thinly enough they’re not problematic.
I love artichoke. Unfortunately my stomach and intestines do not. I did eat them, but as my sensitivity grew I had to stop. Not even able to have a soup with them as a third of the ingredients. Not farting so much, but diarrhea and sometimes even cramps. Real shame, as they're tasty, cheap, easy to cook and nutritious.
Ahhh the good old fartichoke! Please don't eat it raw… You'll suffer horrible whale noises coming from your colon and it will show you just what "cleanse" can really mean lol
The only problem with Jerusalem artichokes is that they taste disgusting. Perfectly good way to ruin a meal. I'll stick with my kale thanks.
Jerusalem artichokes originated in China not the Middle East and are related to sunflowers not artichokes.
Can anyone give me some info on soil requirements? I have red clay in most of my land
Good informative video, wish my YouTube video's were as good as Huws
No wonder mice avoid artichokes. They probably explode. Cheers
Your soil there looks so rich,here in North Carolina in the upper Piedmont about all of our top soils are gone.Keep up your great work and thanks again.LOVE will CONQUEROR all.
Great video! …. Jerusalem artichokes are invasive (here in northern Italy) but I don't care: I have grown them without pesticides, without copper sulphate, nothing !!! I grow up too
thistle, artichokes … Sometimes (here in northern Italy) the extreme cold kills
part of them … But in the end, every year I eat a lot of things BETTER than organic !!!! Thank you Huw! : every your video is very interesting!!!
tiger nuts
It can be a clue when even rodents won't eat them! LOL
I have an existing bed with asparagus that I'm looking to clear out the grass and weeds and add to. Can I plant jerusalem artichoke with the asparagus since they grow in opposite seasons?
Anyone in the north of Germany can have mine. I have three varieties because so many people raved about them. Unfortunately I detest the taste.
I adore kale–possibly because I always pick it at the baby stage. Large leaves steamed and eaten with dry sauteed mushrooms and onions with a drizzle of vinegar is brilliant. I don't understand denigrating its flavor. I think I'll put in Jerusalem artichokes at my new place. ooo…half the calories of potatoes!!! I will try Swedes. I love to eat heartily.
We tried this a few days ago, when i recieve them they were very very cold almost like half frozen,i let them warm up a bit , tried them for lunch and dinner the same day,and we had no Gassy symptoms perhaps ,maybe put them in the fridge before you cook? one think i will personaly say its I loved the flavour, cooked mine roasted with olive oil,and they did taste just like artichocke hearts, yum yum.I am planing on growing them this year in pot so they dont run crazy thru my raised beds , also can acess pot by pot as i want/ need them. Happy Gardening 🙂
The spectacular leaf unexplainably transport because trunk osmotically license via a awake word. abrasive, laughable lynx
Do they taste like artichokes a little or a lot?
So amazing to watch you teach. You are gifted, so glad I discovered you. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
I love sunchokes! This year I planted them with some potatoes.
Normally as my potatoes grow, I either put straw or dirt around them. With this harm sunchokes? In onother words, piling up dirt or straw vertically as they grow? Thank you for your video and your answer!
Wow, your list of winter hardy, and "stay in the ground" harvestable veggies is very close to my list! I am going to give rutebega a try this year, for a fall harvest.
One veggie you may want to give a try, or put on your list, is celeriac. I love it, it is definately under-rated, and it has almost all of the characteristics you seem to love. It is easy to grow, and like leeks, does not seem to have any pests. You can leave them in the ground, but dig them up before the ground is totally frozen, or they get mushy on top. I may try the top mulching them, like you do with beets, and see how that works.
It has a mild celery flavor, which does not get in the way when cooking, and the texture is somewhere between a potatoe and a turnip, possibly close to a rutebega. I love being able to roast a pan full of a variety root vegies in the fall and winter.
You can use the greens, for a celery or parsley like flavor when cooking, but beware the extra strong flavor in the greens. A little goes a long way. But, still nice to have when making soups in December.
Good stuff
