I am from Iraq and this is an ancient vegetable that we've been using for centuries and the way we eat it we pickle it just like your normal cucumber pickle and it tastes amazing so crunchy
Grew these and they werent sweet straight out of the ground and i didnt understand how people were calling them sweet , but after sitting on the counter for about 2-3 months they became absolutely sweet and well worth the wait ,so as far as i have seen if you want it sweet let it sit for a while, i will be trying to propagate as much of these as possible they are so good
I'm convinced that gardening saved my husband's life. Every time I got mad at him I would go out and hoe the plants! True statement-- we did divorce 6 months later but it really helped with my anger issues toward him. It was a win/win situation really. Prettiest garden I ever had!
I think it'd be hilarious to talk about these with a French person :) "Would you like a ground apple?" "Are you making fun of me for how I say potato?"
This seems like a plant with some interesting possibilities... would it be suitable to turn into a kind of “applesauce”? Maybe blended up with some strawberries and canned. It would be pretty neat if it would work that way. Apple trees can take years to begin producing, and it seems like this thing only takes a season.
Hi hello 👋 from Florida here , been watching your videos and , love your videos , I am a Filipino also like your wife , I am trying to learn from and making videos hopefully I can inspire other people
My grandpa used to grow these - mostly for himself, as he was diabetic and he believed those were good for him. The thing is, this is the first time I see a ground apple tuber. I only remember digging up and eating rhizomes.
I have yacon growing at the moment, two are in pots and one in the garden. I found last year the ones in the pots grew more tubers than the one in the ground, guess that’s due to the soil type. I’m growing Jicama this year also which I have never grown before, it will be interesting to see what that tastes like.
Yacon, Peruvian Ground Apple. Cool beans. I guess like mexican Jicama. Looks tasty and very juicy. Thanks. Looking for another item to add to the garden. Keep up the great work.
I tried growing yacon in my backyard garden a few years ago. It didn't survive my zone 9b heatwave. I'd like to try it again in the future. Maybe I need more mulch and water to keep it going through the blast furnace here.
Yummii....The way You show us Harvesing thouse Healthy Food'its Really impress me🌸🌸🌸🎁🎁🎁🌸🌸🌸Will learning from you for sure ones I back to my MOTHERLAND💞💞💞💞
"singkamas" has white flesh while "yakon" is golden and much sweeter, has a crunch like on singkamas (they were probably close relatives), it think they grow it on Baguio :)
Hmm....Ground Apple, aka Yacon,....kinda like the Jicama, Mexican potato but I like the Yacon better, the little hint of sweetness whereas in the Jicama its just refreshing, no flavor, kinda like water, that's it crunchy water! lol...anyways, thanks to you buddy, you've stirred my curiosity and I'll be researching more about this AWESOME tuber, see if it can grow in a subtropical climate, btw so there are 2 kinds, the red one and this light brown skinned one? Uprated, thanks for sharing and here's to your health! :)
Way cool, seems like a lot taster Jerusalem artichoke. Could maybe overwinter in root cellar, zone 4. This is another reason to keep living, the search begins.
i thought it was jicama at first bc those are common here in indonesia, turns out i didnt know what that was but i know now. thanks for the great video!
The term “ground apple” reminds me of the French word for potato “pomme de terre” which directly translated means “apple of the ground”. On reading the title of the video, I definitely thought this would be about potatoes. Pleasantly surprised though.
Just discovered you channel, the ground apple title caught my interest - I had never heard of them before! I live in zone 5, Canada. Do they require a long growing season, and do I start with seeds, or rhizomes? I don't even know if they are available here. Thank you, subscribed!
i actually tried this recently! my horticulture professor said it's a very good grower, she forgot about it but we still got about 15 lbs of ground apples from it!

The digging at 2:14 and onward was very satisfying. Reminds me of why gardening is so exciting, comforting and addictive. 😊

"Would you like a ground apple?"
"Are you making fun of me for how I say potato?"
Oh, that is too funny....
Yes, in French we call this "ground pear" (for yacon)
Ground apple is the potatoe...
And potatoe can be understood as the sweet potato...
You seem like such a chill and humble dude.
Thanks for constantly teaching me new plant varieties!
I appreciate that Brandon. Thanks for tuning in!
it so good, i love nature, the greenery the fregnance coming from trees and soil
Omg. Thank you!!! Growing up my mom we always ate these and I never knew what they were call. I love these so much!
Thank you thank you for including the scientific name and the zones! A very helpful video!
That plant looks so good and satisfying, and it must be packed full of vitamins and minerals as well!

I appreciate the introduction to edible plants that I can add to my garden.

Love the variety of plants you introduce to us
Dan I think you are awesome and I love how you share your knowledge.
Hi hello 👋 from Florida here , been watching your videos and , love your videos , I am a Filipino also like your wife , I am trying to learn from and making videos hopefully I can inspire other people
i remembered my first time eating this, it blew me away because its sweet and juicy, i never thought it was a tuber...
Ehhhhhmmmmm....that bite had my mouth full of water 😃
Now, I'm thirsty 😄👍

Interesting, I've never heard of ground apples before. Thank you very much for this.

Very well spoken sir.
They look yummy and interesting. I want to grow some. I’m going to look into it more and see if my yard would be a good spot

Such a calming voice, and so informative!
I just harvested my first yacon. After some days I tryed it and U am very impressed. So delicious! Greetings from Europe!
Funny! In french, ground apple is "pomme de terre", which is how we call... potatoes!
This is the first time im seeing this plant.
Was in my recommended so I clicked.. no regrets! Cool video
I have never seen that! So cool! Thank you for showing us!
very very nice clip. Thank you very much Dan.
That tubber!
Be neat to add those to your juicer to give a higher yeild of juice. 😊
Looked so good I went to eBay and ordered a few rhizomes!
In Indonesia we called it Bengkoang. It is good for your skin cause it’s contain lots of vitamin E.
Finally was able to find some! Cant wait to try it.
First time viewer.. loved it.. subscribing to see more.

Wow! Never heard of this. Thanks for sharing.
Looks delicious! Its almost very similar to a Jicama root too. Thanks for sharing.
Heh.. "Ground apple" was my grandpa's euphemism for poop. Subscribed.
It is a name for horse poop in particular since that tends to have a rounded shape to it.
those stalks would make good baskets
We have that in the Philippines too, also called similarly like that "yakon, yacon". Farmers sometimes turn it into a wine bacause of its sweetness ☺
eson aguilar it's called "singkamas" in our region or maybe it's different?
"singkamas" has white flesh while "yakon" is golden and much sweeter, has a crunch like on singkamas (they were probably close relatives), it think they grow it on Baguio :)
eson aguilar i didn't know that thing but I'd love to try it were i can find that here in the Philippines anyway
RIght on!
This guy speaks Greek better than people in Greece!
Am new here and am excited about Yacon,thank you for educating us ❤
making my mouth water ARRGH
👍 lol
Where do you find all your unusual plants? Ground apple and tree collards? Any place special you can recommend online?
Love watching you eat!
Yes in Chinese we call it xue Lian(雪莲）
Thanks dan! That was fun.
Keep planting man..you've earned a sub :)
sangat sedap epal bawah tanah..saya pernah makan di cameron highland..
Can also make the leaves as tea
How you keep the baby yacon plant for the next season ?
Cool video, I'll be buying those for next spring.
Amazing. I never knew those existed. Thanks

Love your videos! A great personality and a nice outfit
Way cool, seems like a lot taster Jerusalem artichoke. Could maybe overwinter in root cellar, zone 4. This is another reason to keep living, the search begins.
Enter. Great looking kale. I would love some seeds for my new garden.
Do you ever water your plants,or is it just simply by rainfall?
Hahaha at first I thought you was talking about potatoes here in Idaho we eat spuds right out the ground just like an apple dash of salt mmm mmm
I really miss that 😍 here in Philippines we call that yacon 😋 I love the taste. It so sweet and chuncy 😊
in my country we call them NAPI...with accent on the N... we used them instead of potatoes in the past...
That was a very pleasant video. Nice dude.
It's called bengkoang in my country, you also can use it as masker, good for your skin.
I like the way you munch it👍
That looks so good!
i thought it was jicama at first bc those are common here in indonesia, turns out i didnt know what that was but i know now. thanks for the great video!
Looks yummy 😋

Dude you just made my mouth 🤤, it looks like jicama
Just watched you for the first time. Very interesting video! I love the was you talk, very informative. Subscribed! 😊👍
Bro been eating this back home in Armenia.. tastes so good.
Hi! How did you start this type of plant? From seeds? If so where did you purchase? Thanks! ☺️
In our country we called that yaccon
🇵🇭
Micah Sotelo singkamas 😊
Sarap nyan para raw sa Diabetic people...
yagit I think you mean “Jicama” which is grown in Mexico and South America. It’s a root vegetable.
It's a yacon.. Singkamas is a vine..
yagit 😆😆😆close to the kind of turnip
It looks really delicious...how much per kilo
Amazing.
In Indonesia, it's called bengkoang/ bengkuang, we also put it on (a kind of) sallad
Just subscribed. Interesting vid. Thanks! You learn something new everyday!
What is the best way to plant the small tubers? Eyes sticking out above the dirt? Put them completely under ground?
Is this fruit also called yacon?
Can you grow these in Fla? And where would you get the ground apple?
Just discovered you channel, the ground apple title caught my interest - I had never heard of them before! I live in zone 5, Canada. Do they require a long growing season, and do I start with seeds, or rhizomes? I don't even know if they are available here. Thank you, subscribed!
thanks it's something that I'll try.
When did big show start agriculture 🤔
We got onr of those varieties in the philippines. Watery too. Its called SINGKAMAS. Its eaten as is but better serve chilled.
Where can we get them.my local store never hear of them. I plant food stock food out of sight in areas around in my position, for what if or shift
i actually tried this recently! my horticulture professor said it's a very good grower, she forgot about it but we still got about 15 lbs of ground apples from it!
Nice one,.. i would like to know further about the "Apple".. is it tropical climate fruit?
Hi.. You are the best for harvesting vlog... I have subscribed you and looking ahead
Great video!!!! :)
Great video. It really makes me want to try growing Yacón here in southwest florida zone 10.
Very Good!
Just wondering...does the flavor taste kind of similar to a sugar beet? Or closer to an apple?
