{"product_id":"red-fuseau-jerusalem-artichokes","title":"Red Fuseau Jerusalem Artichokes","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed Fuseau is one of the most sought-after Jerusalem artichoke varieties available. With smooth, elongated tubers and a rich, nutty flavor, it's widely regarded as one of the best-eating sunchoke varieties out there. The skin has a distinctive reddish hue that makes it easy to identify at harvest, and the smoother shape means less waste when preparing them in the kitchen compared to knobbier varieties. We only have a very limited supply this year, so if you've been wanting to try Red Fuseau, don't wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Details: \u003c\/strong\u003eTubers ship starting in February 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb of seed tubers contains approximately 15–20 seed pieces.
