Sunbeam Sunchoke Tuber
Species: Helianthus tuberosus, Sunchokes are also known as Jerusalem Artichokes or J Chokes
History:Â Our founder, Ken Roth, acquired Sunbeam from Sunny Nature Farm near Midland, ON. The owners of the farm were unsure what variety it was but Ken says it is now his favourite sunchoke, no contest! He collected and propagated the tubers, Mouse suggested he name them Sunbeam in honour of Sunny Nature Farm, and now we are happy to release them to the public in 2025!
Why We Grow It:Â Sunbeam won Ken over with its large, smooth tubers that are reminiscent of sweet potatoes. He finds them easier to clean than the other varieties we currently offer which makes processing them for cooking much smoother. Even compared to other sunchokes Sunbeam is highly productive and vigorous! Considering Ken has been growing his selection of sunchokes over the years, we trust his judgement when he says this one takes the cake.Â
