The Jerusalem artichoke (a.k.a. sunchoke) isn't related to the globe artichoke, but is part of the sunflower family. It looks like gingerroot, tastes like a radishy-artichoke, and can be eaten raw in salads or boiled/steamed. They're in season now through winter. And they are the top gas-producing vegetable, providing even more toots than beans!
