Vegetable
Red Fuseau
A tier
Red Fuseau combines the elongated, low-knob fuseau shape with reddish skin—easier prep than knobby reds plus colour for the plate. Flesh remains light and nutty-sweet after cold weather. A dual win for kitchen labour and presentation. Roast to concentrate sweetness; skins can stay on for rustic dishes. Good garden choice if you want fuseau form with colour. Still spreads like other sunchokes—manage beds.
