2013-11-26 New Vegetable for us “Yacon”

 

Coming from South America it is advertised as being good for diabetes, so I had to try it. It is supposed to grow 2 m high, so we were not expecting much from ours which was barely 80cm high !

BUT….we had 5 good edible tubers and numerous “red” buds to plant next year.

Might grow it again next year, depends if we can get rid of the unfortunate side effects :O(
