Yacon is one of the most extraordinary plants of the Andes. This spectacular plant is related to the sunflower & grows very similarly. It is also called "Pear of the Earth" because it's tubers are a delicious flavor that resembles a blend of watermelon, apple, & pear. It is very juicy and crisp and can be eaten raw or cooked. We had the chance to try some this last fall and we were blown away by their flavor. Highly recommended, fun to grow for a fall harvest.
