Good day, fellow proles.

Good day, good sir.

How are we doing today?

You know, I'm doing all right.

Just living my best life over here.

Everything is good.

Not sore?

I'm a little sore and a little horse, but that's okay.

Are you sore because you're a horse?

Yes, horse with an A.

Harse?

You know what?

I just, I can't with you today. I haven't had any coffee. This is, it'sarse you know what I just I can't with you today I haven't had any coffee

this is it's you know I was gonna say I was doing fine but now I'm not doing fine I feel

terrible everything's terrible now good good I want it to be terrible awesome so that

perfectly sets the tone for our story today what are we talking about so today we're talking about a really fun and exciting story. I know a lot of our audience is familiar with the Jerusalem artichoke, also known as the sun choke, but it actually had a really interesting coming of age story and the recent past. So we're going to talk about sun chokes.

All right. So an artichoke, I know what an artichoke is. What makes it Jerusalem? Because it was, it was meant, is this one that was mentioned in the Bible or whatever?

So we're going to talk about why it's called the Jerusalem artichoke. I'm not sure if it's going to be in this episode. This is a four-part series. It's just a really fun, interesting story that I'm very excited to talk about. So the Jerusalem Martichoke is actually a member of the sunflower family. It's a perennial root crop that will primarily grown for its root crop. But as we'll see, there's a whole bunch of things that it can kind of do, and people got really

excited about what its potential is.

For folks that are not familiar with it, it is a native crop to North America, primarily

the northeastern part of North America.

And it was cultivated and managed and stewarded by indigenous people across the continent.
