Fuseau

Vegetable

Fuseau

S tier

Fuseau is a smooth, elongated French-type sunchoke with fewer knobs—far easier to scrub and peel than gnarled wild forms. Flesh is white and fine; flavour is classic nutty-sweet after cold storage. Preferred by chefs who hate wasting tuber in crevices. Roast whole, turn into silky soups, or slice thin for gratins. The practical market sunchoke when shape matters. Stores in cold humid conditions.
