I have stored them in damp sawdust in a 5 gallon bucket outside in the cool shade (or I just leave them in the ground 'til I want some). It doesn't freeze much here. They last longer like that than they do in the refrigerator. I fart too much on the cooked ones. I love them thin mandoline sliced on my salad.
I am curious if anyone has bothered experimenting with how to optimally process these to make bread or even sweet cookie biscuits, like tea biscuits. It has potential to become more of market valuable for individual consumer as well as restaurants and bakeries or whatever, not just anti starvation home permaculture crop. and they look like pretty sunflowers. Maybe extract the starch for better storage, dry and powder for flour? I don't know, am curious. looking forward to trying it shaved and fresh on a salad or in a stir fry! And hash browns looks like a good idea too! Also, the ease of growing would make it great to feed pigs goats or whoever else 🌎 ❤ from a fellow Texan, from the Hill Country
You just need to grow you own. They are easy. I pulled a bunch out one year and put a free bucket out front with roots in wet sawdust. Didn't get too many takers. Just ate some mandolined into my salad right now. I fart too much on the cooked ones.

I have fed the tops to the rabbits thru the summer.
I had not thought about trying to make flour. Interesting. I have read of some folks fermenting or pickling them also.
No one in my area has them for sale.
I want 🌞 chokes so badly.
Those on Amazon have bad reviews.
Pls help !

@OWK000 that sounds great, but I need at least one to start with - don't ya know 😊
I actually got lucky on Amazon. I ordered these from “Greenhouse PCA” thru Amazon. Good Luck!
Thought it was barnacle boat scrapings
😂 They do look like barnacles!
