Haha I never knew how they were called in Chinese. But probably that's the right one. They are called sunchokes.

Wow! Read the last paragraph in the link about this plant, you should get a good luck! 😆 Did you?

Sailor, how many years have you grown this type of plant or veggie for?

First year

Are you sure their name is Yang Jiang (Helianthus tuberosus)? They are from Fairies. Hahaha, that's why you are so interested in staying at the garden and growing vegetables there.😁😁😁

I just realized most likely I have this plant in my garden. I purchased the plant in a big pot (about $20) when it's almost blooming. And then I planted it into my yard with the original potting soil.

It's very easy to grow. I see the yellow flowers ( little sunflowers alike) every summer, and the flowers last much longer time comparing with other flowers. I do like this plant, but I never knew it's edible.

Mine didn't have a chance to flower. They got too tall, too tall to stay upright, before I cut them half in height.

I ate the roots for a few times many many years' ago when I was in China,

but I didn't know about its leaves and flowers. In Canada, (most likely) I have this plant in garden but I thought it's only a type of flower, but not a type of food. Good to know it. I will verify the one in my garden later. Thanks for sharing!
I had this (see picture) and later I have planted more of the yellow flowers at a different location.

Not sure yet. I will verify it later.
