Response to Anyone grown Jerusalem Artichokes?

from hannah (hannahholly@hotmail.com)
Jerusalem artichokes grow like weeds (here in SE Texas at least) and can be left in the ground to overwinter just about anywhere, I would guess. I harvested mine when the tops died down. One thing I would like to mention that I haven't seen mentioned before--those things make most people bloat up like a dirigible with gas. It's the inulin, I believe. It was well documented on the Lewis and Clark expedtion that the natives shared these with the expedition and they nearly asphyxiated themselves. Hoo--wee. Gross but true.
