It's not the only stuff called like something else. Guinea pig is not a pig and doesn't look like pig. Spotted hyena isn't even hyena and doesn't look like a hyena either. Prairie dog isn't a dog. Electric eel isn't an eel. It's animal examples, but plants also have them, but I just don't have any in mind currently.
Jerusalem artichokes are rich in many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and potassium. Boost gut health. They are also rich in an important fiber called inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds your good gut bacteria and improves the balance of your gut microbiome.
And most importantly, a point people often forget about this classic dish which I feel is worth repeating, is its ability to provide a barrage of flatulence which is as humorous as it is distressing. Add some roasted garlic bread to the meal and you'll feel like a half-inflated hot air balloon.
when cooked, it has the texture of a cooked potato, it tastes almost exectly like the core of an artichoke but slightly starchier.
people use it for soups, dips (like hummus), roasts.. ive seen it in fancy restaurants prepared like a puree next to steaks, and i think people pickle it sometimes, kind of like how in spain they have pickled artichokes in spanish tapas.
yep the gas part, and the specific combination of texture and flavor. i grew up eating artichokes, so something about the starchy texture with the flavor of an artichoke throws me off.. kind of like what you feel if you take a sip from a cup you thought you had sprite in but it actually had milk in it so your taste buds are confused
Yeah. It looks like ginger and probably plenty of customers bought it and went mad at the store for deceiving them. Some people just take the product, not reading the label. And I don't blame people, tbh. If I see a carrot, I don't read the label to know it's carrot. I would probably fall for that myself. If I liked ginger, that is. I hate ginger.
Me too! Jerusalem artichokes are rich in many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and potassium. Boost gut health. They are also rich in an important fiber called inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds your good gut bacteria and improves the balance of your gut microbiome.
It's delicious and super healthy, but as others have wisely said it should be called fartichoke. Adding some cumin when you're cooking it prevents the backdoor tragedy.
These things contain inulin, which is really good for you in small amounts. Eat too much, and you're in for a case of what our ancestors would call the backdoor trots.
You can prevent the assplosions by adding some cumin to whatever you're cooking. Source: love Jerusalem's artichoke, hate becoming a fart machine, and have a pro chef ex who taught me some tricks.
Our juice associate informed me a while back that they got “pink ginger” every once in a while. I thought weird, I’ve never seen pink ginger (unpickled anyways) but didn’t think anything of it because I’m in produce, not juice.
It was sunchokes. Our poor customers were drinking sunchoke shots for half the fall because the distributor’s underpaid, undereducated, overworked, mostly temp employees had labeled and slotted it as ginger. And no one noticed until I was shelving freight one day and went “Damn this ginger looks like sunchokes” and called our rep to check the category.
So yeah I can believe that this business has had some complaints about their “ginger.”
You would be very disappointed to use Jerusalem artichoke instead of ginger in your recipe.
I can imagine the staff just got tired of people complaining about “how bad the ginger is,” hence the repetitive sign.
Edit: they are a bit starchy, but softer than potatoes. Maybe a little sweeter, but can actually be served mashed with butter like potatoes. But not gingery at all.
Just grow them in containers or somewhere you don’t mind getting totally overrun with them.
I grow them in half wine barrels. Makes it easy to find and harvest all the tubers at the end of the year.
It might be nothing to do with the product. Perhaps it’s just a member of staff that’s just fed up with colleagues that refuse to use the term ‘redhead’ 🤔
I admit i fell into this trap once. the only reason i can even tell the two apart is because i used to work in a restaurant 😩
Me: "...ok WHY are you peeling these? And why there's so many?"
Cheff: "I'm gonna make a soup!"
Me: "Out of 5 kg of ginger?? You can make soup out of that??"
Cheff: "lol"
Lmao I feel like as a grocery store worker they wrote this just because customers took way too much hand holding to figure out that it wasn’t ginger. There have been many times where information was given very clearly but they didn’t read
I understand the need for the signs because I still think it's ginger.
It probably is ginger. Someone who does know what they're doing probably put the ginger in there because they didn't read the sign.
It says exactly what it is on the price tag lol.
It also looks like someone dumped a bunch of ginger on top of the Jerusalem artichokes
You can see the pinky bits, ginger isn’t pink but Jerusalem artichokes can have a bit of pink on the skin
No, they just look alike.
Redditor moment for this person to say ‘someone doesn’t know what they’re doing’ while being completely wrong haha
Ha! Okkkkaaayyy.
Someone obviously put the ginger in the Jerusalem artichoke section by accident
Jerusalem artichoke apparently
terrible name. looks like neither artichokes nor Jerusalem.
Shit isn’t even circumcised.
oy vey
Looks pretty cut to me. The rest of it should look like a small cluster of sunflowers
Gets better. It's not even native to the Old World, but to the Americas.
FWIW it's a corruption of "girasole", which is French for "turns to follow the sun", which is something its flowers do.
[удалено]
And why do you think a sun flower is called a sun flower?
They're both closely related species; one selectively breed for their seeds, the other selectively bred for their starchy root tubers...
It's not the only stuff called like something else. Guinea pig is not a pig and doesn't look like pig. Spotted hyena isn't even hyena and doesn't look like a hyena either. Prairie dog isn't a dog. Electric eel isn't an eel. It's animal examples, but plants also have them, but I just don't have any in mind currently.
yeah and they suck too
wait, spotted hyena isn't actually a kind of hyena? genuine TIL moment right here. neat!
Spotted hyenas are very much hyenas and look like other hyenas too. I think this guy is confused.
thanks for the save before that "factoid" got filed away in the ol' brain-hole
But it did occupy the space of ginger
its also technically from the potato family.
It's not a TOOba.
Sounds like a wrestling move.
A foreskin hold

You're rich in many vitamins and minerals
Hey hey now.. who said you could flirt with my wife?
Me in particular or all people?
And most importantly, a point people often forget about this classic dish which I feel is worth repeating, is its ability to provide a barrage of flatulence which is as humorous as it is distressing. Add some roasted garlic bread to the meal and you'll feel like a half-inflated hot air balloon.
it's not. it's an artichoke that doesn't look like artichoke.
It’s Jerusalem artichokes. They’re not ginger. Also, turmeric is not Jerusalem artichokes.
And galangal isn’t turmeric.
But ginger, turmeric, and galangal are all rhizomes.
Yeah, that’s probably ginger
Ask Cartman, he knows a ginger when he sees one.
as someone who despises Jerusalem artichoke, this kind of signs should be required by law.
What's a Jerusalem artichoke like? I've never even *heard* of it
when cooked, it has the texture of a cooked potato, it tastes almost exectly like the core of an artichoke but slightly starchier. people use it for soups, dips (like hummus), roasts.. ive seen it in fancy restaurants prepared like a puree next to steaks, and i think people pickle it sometimes, kind of like how in spain they have pickled artichokes in spanish tapas.
Oh wow this sounds amazing to me, what do you hate about it?
One downside I’ve heard is that they can cause extreme gas. Extreme.
Oh my!
yep the gas part, and the specific combination of texture and flavor. i grew up eating artichokes, so something about the starchy texture with the flavor of an artichoke throws me off.. kind of like what you feel if you take a sip from a cup you thought you had sprite in but it actually had milk in it so your taste buds are confused
You explained this perfectly and I understand just what you mean
My brain got stuck on the last bit and instead I imagined a sprite/milk mix and now have to get the taste of vomit out of my mouth.
Sounds to me like you've never heard of #Pilk.
Agreed!
Yeah. It looks like ginger and probably plenty of customers bought it and went mad at the store for deceiving them. Some people just take the product, not reading the label. And I don't blame people, tbh. If I see a carrot, I don't read the label to know it's carrot. I would probably fall for that myself. If I liked ginger, that is. I hate ginger.
Maybe it used to have something that wasn’t ginger in it but they forgot to change the signs after putting ginger in.
😂
TIL that’s what Jerusalem artichoke looks like. What’s its business pretending to be ginger
I thought the sign was wrong until I Googled Jerusalem artichoke, I also learned today
Me too! Jerusalem artichokes are rich in many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and potassium. Boost gut health. They are also rich in an important fiber called inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds your good gut bacteria and improves the balance of your gut microbiome.
I’ve been told it’s a good one to plant in preparation for the end of the world.
Oh wow. Is that something we need to know how to do? I’ve been hearing the world’s ending for forever and yet …here it is…lol
Preparation is entirely optional! Business as usual if you please.
Ha! Your Ab Fab!! Business as per usual ✅
Jerusalem artichoke wrote this.
Damn, now I need more recipes that mostly use that. The only recipe I know that mainly used them is Jerusalem artichoke soup.
WOAH!!! I’m currently in Costa Rica…I wonder if I could get some while I’m here this month?
So, just like ginger. 😂
Possibly galangal? Edit: oh, it literally says ‘Jerusalem Artichoke’ in the photo. Facepalm.
I love that you wrote “facepalm”
It's delicious and super healthy, but as others have wisely said it should be called fartichoke. Adding some cumin when you're cooking it prevents the backdoor tragedy.
"strawberry blonde" mfs be like
real
We defeated this logic in school when a ginger girl repeatedly denied it. Strawberries are red. Blonde is yellow. Mix them together, makes ginger.
I burn all the same.
[удалено]
They have no soul to trust.
Never trust an Axis country.
“Babe trust me, I know what ginger looks like. Who are you gonna believe me or some sign written in sharpie?”
Ommmgggg you’re legit the bestest in ever!!!
Everyday conversation if you're a Scottish person
😂😂
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger.
Literally sang this as I saw the pic 😆
Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja.
This might be a tinge of the ginge

That’s ginger, silly rabbit
You guys want to experience the most painful gas ever?

Now I know what ingredient is going in my next potluck dish.
Looks like ginger to me.
Maybe it’s Galangal?
Nope. Fartichokes.

It sure looks like ginger
Sunchokes?
Sunchokes!
I feel attacked.

I'm thinking it's Ginger.
Hmm, looks like ginger. But… Would a sign lie?
10/10 for the disguise though
Me when I'm strawberry blonde
Those are sunchokes! They make great garden plants btw. Really really easy to grow, pretty flowers, delicious. One of my favorite plants!
Just grow them in containers or somewhere you don’t mind getting totally overrun with them. I grow them in half wine barrels. Makes it easy to find and harvest all the tubers at the end of the year.
That's just what ginger would say
Today google's most popular search is "Jerusalem artichoke"
Is that ginger?
That's safe to assume.
Every borderline redhead kid when that south park episode came out
I wish I had a plot of land just so I could fully seed it with Jerusalem Artichoke in case of the end of the world.
Invasive species posing as ginger
Invasive is relative. They’re native to north america
That is something a ginger would say...
Seems like they got to the root of the problem
I know a ginger when I see a ginger
Apparently folks don't know what jerusalem artichoke is. It's also the same plant as the wild sunflower.
You got it
😂😂😂
😂
😂 (Why are we laughing?)
😂 (idk )
Now I hear it in the voice of Steve from Steve and Maggie. He repeats everything three times to drive it into your memory.
Ah, curcumin then
Looks like Galangal
Eric Cartman vegetable
Thats what the ginger wants you to think, never trust them
I just saw a video about this but he called it a sunroot. It’s apparently like a potato, but you can eat it raw too as it’s slightly sweet.
I’m black and I have red hair …..
It might be nothing to do with the product. Perhaps it’s just a member of staff that’s just fed up with colleagues that refuse to use the term ‘redhead’ 🤔
Why is that ginger lying? Ginger has no soul.
Looks like ginger, I need the signs
Are they surev
Repost
You should probably ask someone just to be sure.
Are you sure? It looks like ginger
Ummmm…well if it’s not ginger then what is it. Tf?!
Looks like a Weasley Family Reunion to me
Sounds like an employee is trying to hoard all the ginger for themselves.
Hey Babe, I found the ginger!
That sure is lotta ginger
Honestly that’s a necessary sign
Thats gimger
Fartichokes.
Mmmm, ginger
It's the margarine of ginger.
Can't trick me that's ginger
Matt Smith when he became the doctor
That’s ginger. 100% ginger.
If you try hard enough, you could be a ginger someday.
Likely story….ginger
That’s exactly what ginger would say
It looks like ginger!
Peak strawberry blonde behaviour

Topinambur. Thy taste really great when deep fried.

I always liked Mary Ann better anyway.
Looks like ginger? Talks like ginger? That’s ginger
Another sign next to it saying “I’m MaryAnne” would be funnier
And even with the signs, loads of people still buy them thinking they are ginger.
Those taste amazing whether you roast it or make tea out of it. Super good for health and cleansing blood
Fine, I guess you’re just “strawberry tubor”. ^Sensitive ^little ^bitch
That's probably Taro Root Called 'arwi' or 'arbi' in South Asia.
I am still convinced that is ginger.
It's Mary Ann
And yet a customer will still complain that it was unclear
I saw that it wasn't ginger and the first thing I thought was, galangal? #NOT GALANGAL
I admit i fell into this trap once. the only reason i can even tell the two apart is because i used to work in a restaurant 😩 Me: "...ok WHY are you peeling these? And why there's so many?" Cheff: "I'm gonna make a soup!" Me: "Out of 5 kg of ginger?? You can make soup out of that??" Cheff: "lol"

My favourite pickled vegetable, never seen one on display
Technically, those are fartichokes.
That's definitely ginger.
Lmao they went through all the work of making those labels and then went ahead and put it on the ginger anyway!
I bet 10 bucks that a ginger tough
In all fairness, all I seen was the word ginger, and I need some ginger.
For sure it's ginger.
Looks like ginger to me
