Chitted Oca Tubers
- Thread starter British Red
- Start date
Did you want some starters for January Sara?I tried them a few years back, but lost most to grubs (yuck!).
Sliced or chipped in stir fries, grated raw in a salad or finely diced in soups and stews mainly, it's fine but a little bland and sweet.
I thought Yacon was the stuff that was used to make syrup ? /sugar.....sort of good sweetness though, iirc ?

No, thank you. I'm focusing my efforts on herbs and berries.
I've been thinking about getting a *small* apple tree or something like that, but not sure what to get or where to put it really, so still just mulling it over.
So how is Oca going? I now have a fair amount of growing space so am thinking of adding it into the mix. Is it worth the bother?
I also notice the mention of yacon - has anyone found a recipe that it’s worth having it in?

Oca is interesting and Yacon fun but I enjoy growing lots of different things. Right now we have a bed full of Jerusalem artichokes and another of asparagus
I’ve just dug a load of Jerusalem artichokes. About 4.2 kg. All from the previous tenant so a nuisance to dig as they were just randomly about. I’ll be keep growing them as roasted they are just delicious, even with the side effects.
Half has already gone into soup with a victor squash - it even did well for the squash to make it into the soup as just roasted and eaten it’s gorgeous. Looking forward to growing that one again next year!
