I totally missed the name of that veg. He certainly made it sound delish when he took a bite ;D

Be interested in any replies to your question. Wouldn't mind trying some myself 8)

Why not use BBC iPlayer to watch it again? Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ and look under this evening. You can stream the program and it's fairly good quality, providing you're on a decent Internet connection.

I agree it had a bit more that intrested me this time, but the yacon tubers are expensive to buy the cheapest I found are 12.99 for 5

I wonder if they grow like those Terrible Beasts Jerusalem Artichokes?

I just watched the programme this morning, and both the Yacon, & the Chilian Guava plants looks interesting to grow. So if anyone finds a stockist, of the 2 plants, could you please post the address or online ordering address.
Thanks
Bill

Hi - Real Seeds have sold out of Yacon tubers. The power of television!

Have you found other suppliers Caseylee?

They do sound fantastic; sweet but not high-calorie. Maybe the reason they're not well-known is that they contain inulin like Jerusalem artichokes and have the same unfortunate effect ;).

I haven't found any other sites yet still looking will def upodate when I do

Chrissie · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2008, 10:46:44 »

Thanks, I'll do the same.
