Join Morag Gamble (moraggamble.com / permacultureed...) in her permaculture garden live at 5 series. The topic in this clip is Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) which is all edible and amazing - the sweet crisp tubers, the purple crown and the large soft leaves.
Yacon is a perennial from the daisy family - related to the sunflower - and originally from the Andes, this plant is used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Eat the root raw or cooked. Use the leaves as spinach or a wrap. Make yacon syrup from the roots as a sugar alternative for diabetics. It's also a great mid-story plant in your forest garden. A perennial in warm climates and an annual in cooler areas.

A very good and informativ video 🤗! I live in Germany and we grow yacon in high raised beds and they are about 2m high. The "fruits" are so fresh and delicious 💯👍. We harvest them after it gets Frost. Greetings from the other end of the world.

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 10 месяцев назад

Hello. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. Yes, they do get so tall.They are such an abundant source of food and like you say, so delicious.

I live in the Dandenongs the hills of Melbourne. I grow Yacon and never remove it and store the crown. It works even though we are in a temperate area. When it dies back, I divide the crown and replant and then in spring it all comes back. Sadly I didn't realise that they don't store like a sweet potato and left them in a basket on the bench. The were covered in mould within a 5 days and the smell. A waste of a about 4 kilos of tubers. Thanks for the tips of using the leaves.

@hp4546 2 года назад

For whatever reason RU-vid chose to put your comment first so I can read it. Eildon Victoria here and wondering if I had to store the Crown and here is your comment telling me exactly what I need to know. Thank you!

@rickharrison1635 3 года назад

We grow Yacon and after a good wash eat it with the skin on when cooked. Everyone seems to say peel them.

I just found your channel. Thank You Mother for sharing your knowledge and love

You give the full information that we want. Thanks

I tried growing these this year in my garden in the United States, South Central Pennsylvania. That's in U.S. agricultural zone 6b. They got about knee high, and I only got a few very small tubers. They were good, but reminded me of a young mild carrot in flavor, with the crunchy watery texture described. They weren't as sweet as a carrot though. I'm going to try some leaves today, and I might dehydrate some for tea. I'll try to store the crown over winter for another try next spring. Interestingly, when I cut the stems I found them full of ants! It didn't really seem to ba affecting the plants though. I think that perhaps vine boreres got into the base and the ants took advantage of the space provided. It's a very pretty plant at least.

Thanks for having this channel.

@eduardorizon5415 3 года назад

I am watching on your yacon plants show i am really interested to grow new for me and i love to try it.

@khagendrashrestha5725 3 года назад

Hello there. Thank you for explaining the way you did. it's wonderful to hear from you. I was wondering what are the other ways yacon can be eaten.

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 3 года назад

Raw and cooked, juiced and dried. Superbly versatile 😀

@aerix12345 3 года назад

Peel it chilled it.... Yummy crystal crunchy and juicy. Fresh will be great unless you really need to cure it. It's a very fragile rhizome and easy rotting so handle with care. Planting from cutting is easy like planting sweet potatoes and tapioca plants. Love it Consume rhizome for diet and constipation. Leaf could boost insulin, consume or brew tea. Some places call it Insulin Plant best for diabetes. Pls consult doc before taking it.

@marvelenia6702 3 года назад

Thank you for this wonderful information! Can one grow such a plant from a bulb only? I can buy a rhizome here but it is crazy expensive. If it is possible to grow the rhizomes/plant from a bulb, would you be so kind and tell me how? Thank you so much!

@gratefulgardens8398 3 года назад

Hi Morag, I love your videos. How do you use the leaves?

Can you plant the root to grow the plant?

@MatthewSherriff85 3 года назад

Just ordered a rhizome, can't wait to try it

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 3 года назад

fantastic - it's delicious

@blankcanvaseventdecor 4 года назад

Thanks, I've wanted to grow it for a while. I live in central Florida, USA Zone 9b. Do they need full sun (which can be brutal here), more half sun/part shade, or full shade?

@breadbread4226 3 года назад

They definitely don't need full sun. At least in my climate in North Germany, a partially shady spot is fine (if not preferred)

@fairman1455 3 года назад

the answer is a Nashi Pear.

@jonfia1108 3 года назад

what about yacon flower is it edible? can you make it into tea?

@LikeUntoBuddha 4 года назад

One interesting thing about the "permaculture" plants is the deer will not eat them. They will eat scrubs to the ground but will not touch the "magic moringa tree".

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 4 года назад

How wonderful! It makes gardening so much easier doesn't it.

@LikeUntoBuddha 4 года назад

@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife There were no deer here ever but they started moving in 10 plus years ago. Now you can't plant any "normal" vegetables. It is fairly depressing.

@rebeccahenkins1697 4 года назад

Use a seaweed/fish emulsion foliar feeding - deer tend to avoid a fish smell and over time it may keep them from coming around as much - just a thought and still a clean organic growing method.

@LikeUntoBuddha 4 года назад

@@rebeccahenkins1697 I've tried everything. The only thing that works is two fences and I can only afford one.

@purpleluna8413 4 года назад

Oneday like to plant it out It is very unusal taste and the crunch is a suprise Wow didnt know the leaves where edible I am in Albury NSW so it stays in the pot and comes back the next year I got it out of Curiosity🤣😂🤣😊

@sierrarazevich1962 Год назад

How long after planting u harvest

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Год назад

6 months or so

@sharronkrause330 Год назад

maybe even 9 months. After plant dies off.

@rodneysmith7979 2 года назад

My ya on don't taste sweet it taste like a radish. So I don't know if they need to stay in the ground I dug them out after first frost.

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 2 года назад

Once I've dug mine up, I let it sweeten in the sun for a week. Also I think perhaps that you might want to leave it longer in the ground

Is it possible i can buy from you a seeds or-seedlings if you dont mind

@myrapadilla12 3 года назад

Can you use the leaves in a smoothie?

@almac9203 Год назад

The leaves are slightly bitter. So you need something sweet to hide the taste.

Hello, can I plant yacon in MD zone 7a? Thanks

@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife 3 года назад

In a warm and protected spot - it may not have enough growing time to produce much to eat though.

Can I get a seed

@aerix12345 3 года назад

To some of you out there, take too much before meeting someone could be embarrassing. Fart a lot. LOL Too much probably 1 kg but definitely depends on how your body react.
