Jerusalem artichokes are native to which place?
Don't let the name of the plant mislead you! The first nation to discover the gustatory qualities of the plant was the native one of North America and actually only then the plant became widespread in other countries (since the 17th century). The plant was easy to cultivate and to cook and quickly gained popularity.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

The picture used IMHO resembles the ginger root! Thank goodness I knew that the Jerusalem artichoke is native to North America!

JERUSALEM artichoke, not the run of the mill artichoke. When i see something like a subspecies mentioned in a question , i wonder .
