He didn't mention, for the uninitiated, that the edible part of the plant is the tuber below ground. It's quite crunchy and sweet, and also rich in a nutrient called inulin (not to be confused with "insulin"). The name "Jerusalem Artichoke" is inaccurate, as it is not an artichoke plant. It derives its name from the Italilian word "girosole", which means "sunflower".
You're absolutely correct! Where this video was filmed it was illegal to dig and they were growing in gravel so digging was out of the question. As far as mentioning the uses, I actually thought I recorded that but didn't so I went back a few days later to record that part but they were cut down as part of maintenance to the parking area. Thank you for bringing up this information!
Amazing that you have them in the wild. I have some in our garden and tried transplanting 2 batches in the feilds. Deer ate them down and dug up and ate the tubers over the winter. Decided I can't have them outside a protected environment around here. Clay soil WV.
Here where I live, in the Arkansas Ozarks, they are abundant. However the tubers are an arduous task to recover, both for man and beast, because our soil is about 90% rocks.
Found a waste field of Jerusalem Artichoke, wild growing in almost pure sand- but- they had no traditional tubers on their roots. The leaves were very very narrow and extremely coarse... it seems that creating a lateral root was it's main goal before creating a single flower on each stem. They seemed to be searching for better nourishment. Leafing patterns match your description. Found flowers with 21 petals. But most 13-15. Some flowers had cut corners on growing a few of their petals. It has been very dry in our area so this is understandable. Amazing what plants do to survive!
Harvested one of these a few years ago, it was about 8 ft tall and the tuber for it was almost like a tree root, hated that i killed a plant and then wasnt able to eat it.
Thanks you I was stuck between woodland sunflower and this on it was this and your help was great. I did plant some years ago and forgot them. My phone app got me half way there you finished the identification. Mine did great by my creek but this is just a runoff one but does hold water
I grew some from a few tubers from my brothers garden. Some that I planted in a half barrel got no flowers.Others that I put directly in the soil got very tall. ( 10 ft.) With nice flowers. I can't wait to dig some up and taste them ! Oh, and don't eat them from the roadside. Car fumes will be be imbeded in the tubers. Not good .
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Thanks Josh. I don't know what you do for a living, but your wild edibles vids are great. I have a stack of books, and a few decks of cards, but nothing beats seeing it out in the wild, and you do a pretty darn good job of describing what to look for, and what to avoid. Quick question: What would you consider an invaluable resource for wild edible identification? What's your 'go to'?
Hi, I've been seeing flowers like these everywhere for the last 2 months or so, growing in huge tall clusters alongside the river where I walk my dog (I'm in central Europe). I've been trying to identify them and everything you say in your video fits, only the stem is almost smooth. Do you know what kind of sunflower it could be?
Check to see if they may be Black Eyed Susans. Very similar but they do have a dark/black center as oppsed to a yellowish center of the bloom of the Jerusalem Artichoke.
I do not want to be bad to you, but it would be nice to compare helianthus tuberosus (jerusalem a.) and helianthus stromurosus (helianthi) I still not know diferent
I transplanted some a couple weeks ago and am looking forward to them! They usually bloom in mid to late summer here in Indiana so depending on where you're located it'll probably be a while.
In the wild I usually find them in the edges of clearings and fields, edges of woods where there's ample sunlight and old farms/pastures. It can be found in all lower 48 states except for Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada so it grows in your state. Hopefully you can find some in the wild!
Thanks Josh, awesome video as always, I'm not sure if they grow this far north or not but will keep my open to see if there are any. StY safe & happy foraging and I hope you 💐🌻🌼🌷🌱🌲🌳🌵🌿☘️🍁🍺🍺👍⚓️🇺🇲

@@TrilliumWildEdibles Likewise in our Ozark Mountains area, these plants are ubiquitous, but digging in our rocky ground is very difficult. Thanks!
yummy yummy, flowers buds leaves and tubers all edible.
it's the wind maker, more than beans.
I see these growing all along the roadsides! They're beautiful.

Our sunchokes are in full bloom here in north jersey, so beautiful! Thanks Josh
They are very beautiful! You're very welcome!
I noticed them last year growing all around my area. They are beautiful! Thank you!
Really best use being as fodder ;] *wonderful* food for the critters you later benefit from
Mine are just flowering. I adore how tall these grow.

Thanks for the info Josh. I was sure this was what I've been seeing. This helped 💯 in that... especially in the details with the stem!
13 is one of my favorite numbers too.

Thx Josh.. nice to see ya. Boy they can really get tall!
Good informational video, thanks for sharing, God bless !
You're very welcome!
Nice video! Hope to find some in my area

Outstanding video! This is a wonderful plant. Nutrition content is high, and I'm not sure what you can't do with it.
Glad you found it and enjoyed it!

@@chasromstad3885 hmm, no they have yellow center but thank you!
I started my J Artichokes in 1974 and it seems that every year they end up taller, this year 18 feet already. Oregon soil & weather.
When is the time to dig these?
Thank you, Josh. Are all part of the plant edible or just the tuber?
To my knowledge it's just the tubers that are edible.
I kept thinking how lovely those flower petals would look in a salad or floating on tomato soup@@TrilliumWildEdibles
@@bushpushersdaughter The petals would surely be safe and easy to eat.
Where can I get some???
I do not want to be bad to you, but it would be nice to compare helianthus tuberosus (jerusalem a.) and helianthus stromurosus (helianthi) I still not know diferent
Just planted some this spring! They are about 4ft tall and not blooming yet
I transplanted some a couple weeks ago and am looking forward to them! They usually bloom in mid to late summer here in Indiana so depending on where you're located it'll probably be a while.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles I'm in southern NC on the coast♥️ Can't say I've spotted them in the wild, but I'll be keeping an extra watchful eye now!

I heard that they grow as far north as zone 2!
