I bet they would make great pig feed. Just plant 'em and let the pigs dig them up.

Go ahead and try. I got my fill of messing with hogs at first job.

They say consuming Jerusalem artichokes on a regular basis can help them maintain healthy blood sugar levels. there are a lot of "Anti Diabetes" fruits and veggies out there... Better try them all!!

There are some nasty side affects as well. Finding “starch” replacements is not as easy as it sounds.

I only raise feeder pigs. 6-8 months and they are gone to that fabulous pig resort, Freezer Camp!

That is the exact age I hate them. When <2 months old, cute. Year and over, trained. In between, 200# of pure orneryness and bored looking for something to destroy or at least tear apart.....

That's why I built the Pig Palace. I can feed and water from the outside and I don't have to go in there with them.

@seedcorn, if you are looking for a low carb alternative for potatoes, I sometimes use cooked and riced or mashed cauliflower. It works well as pasta or rice, too. Yummy as pasta for spaghetti sauce.
And you have probably tried spaghetti squash. I need to grow some this year.
Oh, and I have found a soft tortilla shell that claims to only have 4 net carbs. Mission brand Carb Balance. They are kind of expensive, though. I use them cut and toasted for tortilla chips for salsa and cheese dips. They can be used as bread for several kinds of sandwich. They make a nice roll-up.

All corn products are on the side of good carbs because of fiber. Tried 2X spaghetti squash-border one hate. I’ll try cauliflower although like it with cheese sauce so maybe hope.

When I was hoping to be of some help to DD and she thought she should go gluten free, I learned that pizza crust can be made with cauliflower. Amazing! Probably, I'd like a slice, if'n it doesn't fall apart on me.

My spaghetti squash experiment is a little disheartening. I don't know if the other squash in the basement will be usable since January deterioration seems rapid. As a pasta substitute, I am also not sure that I can rate it any higher than "okay." The pie is just "okay."

Pie won't work for Seed' because of the sugar and crust. But then, maybe cauliflower would work for a pie crust. Eh ??

i love it both raw and cooked with no seasoning so to me it only gets better from there as you have all those other things you can do with it. enjoy!

I haven’t heard of that variety, but I came across this variety in my search for Seed potatoes. Perhaps you could try them? This website is quite pricey, but I’m sure you could find it elsewhere for a lot less. https://www.reneesgarden.com/products/huckleberry-gold-the-first-low-glycemic-potato
