I have Chinese Artichokes but they look like big maggots and it puts me off eating them.
Oca I've grown before but lost them in the undergrowth.
Its my first time for Mashua.
Never grown Yacon.
Same here JAs gave me tummy ache as well as the turbulence. It was a shame as I quite liked them. I w9nder what is in JAs that affect the digestion so severely, off to research.
PS the answer is inulin.

Up to yet I’ve made a gratin and soups using my JA’s, later on I’ll be freezing some.
Luckily I only have the fartichoke effect the first couple of times eating them at the beginning of their season then I’m fine afterwards.

I used to like them sliced floured and fried in butter until crispy.
