About Artichoke Sunchoke / Jerusalem
The sunchoke, or Jerusalem artichoke, is a knobby tuber sold by the pound rather than by the case, a specialty that moves in small volume for restaurant kitchens. Our reference records France as the origin observed for it, and it is not a continuously documented item: it drops out of the market reports for part of the year. It is a root and not an artichoke, and it stores like one.
Buying notes
This is a by-the-pound line with no case pack, so the quote is already a price per pound and there is nothing to convert or infer. Check the knobs for firmness and shrivel — the tuber holds well cold but dries out fast in a warm kitchen.
