The History & Significance of Jerusalem Artichokes

Indigenous to North America, Jerusalem artichokes were cultivated by Native American tribes long before being introduced to European settlers. Despite the name, they are not related to artichokes or Jerusalem—instead, the name comes from the Italian word girasole (sunflower), referring to their bright, towering blooms. Today, they remain a beloved heirloom crop for their nutritional benefits, adaptability, and rich history.

How to Plant & Grow Organic Jerusalem Artichokes:

• Planting Time: Best planted in early spring once the soil is workable.

• Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun, but tolerates partial shade.

• Soil & Watering: Thrives in well-drained, poor soil with minimal watering.

• Harvesting: Dig tubers in late fall to early winter after the first frost for the best flavor.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, or leave in the ground and harvest as needed.
