Anyone harvesting yacon?

(1/3) > >>

FlyingFoxFruits:
wondering if anyone is harvesting yacon, and when is a good time to harvest??

thanks!

Bananimal:
I have a buddy in Cali that will be sending me some yacon tubers.  Soon as cold weather kills back the planting a bit.   Yacon has many health benefits --- boosts immune system, lowers cholesterol and is a super duper colon cleanser (especially important during holiday season).

Dan,

thanks for the info!  that's what my good buddy from CA told me as well!

I'm getting impatient...I wanna taste this one!

Ethan:
A good buddy of mine from CA let me try some last Spring and it was nice and crisp, mildly sweet maybe w/a hint of parsnip?  Very enjoyable and big enough tubers to easily juice.  Same buddy also shared some sun choke/Jerusalem artichoke that produce beautiful giant plants covered in flowers and after they die very nice slightly sweet tubers.

Heck of a guy!

FlyingFoxFruits:
it would be funny if we were all taking about the same buddy.  Even funnier if we each had a separate buddy with yacon in CA.

I like the anonymity factor.  it's like playing "guess who", but with plants.  :)
