Beaver Valley Purple Sunchokes - Rare Organic Heirloom Variety for Planting/Eating - 1 lb

Discover the Rare Beaver Valley Purple Sunchoke – Heirloom Tubers Straight from Our Farm! Are you ready to add a splash of color and flavor to your garden or kitchen? Introducing Beaver Valley Purple Sunchokes (Helianthus tuberosus), a stunning heirloom variety that's been captivating gardeners and chefs since the early 1900s. Discovered in the fertile Beaver Valley of Pennsylvania by renowned heirloom expert William Woys Weaver, these tubers were already a local legend when Sarah Morgan shared them from her family plot—purchased in 1920 and thriving for generations before!Unlike common white sunchokes, Beaver Valley Purple boasts vibrant reddish-purple skin with tan flesh, making them as beautiful as they are delicious. These nutty, slightly sweet roots are a sunflower relative (not a true artichoke!), packed with prebiotic inulin for gut health, vitamin C, iron, and potassium. They're a traditional for blood sugar support and a low-starch alternative to potatoes—perfect for diabetic-friendly meals or keto diets.

What You'll Get:

• 1 lb – Freshly harvested, organic, and chemical-free from our sustainable North Idaho farm. Each tuber is 1-3 inches long, firm, and ready to plant or eat.

Culinary Ideas:

• Roasted: Toss with olive oil, rosemary, and garlic—bake at 400°F for 20-30 min for crispy edges.

• Raw: Thinly slice for salads; their mild, artichoke-like crunch shines.

• Pureed: Blend into creamy soups or mash as a potato sub.

• Sweet, nutty flavor intensifies after a frost—harvest in late fall for peak taste!

Growing Guide (Super Easy for Beginners!):

• Planting: Early spring or fall; bury 4-6 inches deep, 12-18 inches apart in rows 3 ft wide. Full sun, loose well-drained soil (pH 5.8-6.2); tolerates poor soil and drought.

• Care: Low-maintenance perennial—water regularly first year; tall stalks (8-10 ft) produce sunny yellow flowers that attract bees and butterflies.

• Harvest: Dig after first frost (Oct-Nov); leave some in ground for next year's crop— they'll multiply like crazy!

• Pro Tip: Plant in a dedicated bed; they're vigorous spreaders but make excellent windbreaks or privacy screens.
