Oca, Mashua, Yacon, Chinese & Jerusalem Artichokes, can all be regrown from harvested roots. Potatoes too, but they have their own thread!
This thread is for the oddbods.
I acquired an Oca and a Mashua plant this year and planted each one in a 30 litre pot. Both are ready to harvest now and I've just taken a Mashua tuber from the pot.

A few months ago, I took cuttings of the Oca & Mashua. and put them in water.
The Oca rooted well, the Mashua died.
The Oca cuttings were potted up and look very healthy> Whether there are any tubers or not, time will tell.

I’ve harvested a few of my Jerusalem artichokes and chucked a couple back in the ground.
When I dig them out I always seem to miss some so plenty grow back.

Very interesting. You must let us know if you think tastes of marzipan. Because if it does, I can cross it off my grow list for ever. I hate marzipan!

I've eaten some raw - like eating a peppery radish. No marzipan.......

Wonder if changes once cooked. I don't like marzipan either SC.
