YAKON

[Fionna Hill]

Can any grower bring YAKON tubers to sell at the August 1st market?

I'm writing about it in the GLFM newsletter for that week.

Cheers

Hi Fionna,

Pania and I likely can bring several kilos - will need to check they're ok as we harvested them about 7 weeks ago. Ate them raw and found they cause terrible gas ;-) Last night we tried them roasted and it was like eating delicious honey - we also didn't have the gassy side effect which was great!

Hope you're well.

Cheers,
Vincent

Fantastic thanks Vinnie and Pania.

Thanks for the "rooty toot toot" warning. I'll experiment both raw and cooked .

cheers

yakon is so good for diabetics or anyone wanting to watch their insulin levels. I use it grated in baking rather than using sugar. Or you can buy Yakon syryp ummm mine are too precious to sell!

Yakon is the subject of the GLFM newsletter this week (Sept 5th).

Can anyone bring yakon plants or fruits for the Ooooby stall?

[Angie Gibbons]

I will bring 3 potted Yakon to this market (5th sept), but maybe next few weeks I can bring more! They have about an inch of growth on them, prob look more interesting when there is a couple more inches of growth for publication etc.
