Yacon harvest

I dug up one patch of yacon today.  The tubers vary in sizes.  The tiny ones are left to be planted but I am not sure if they will grow any bigger as the leaves have died.

These tubers will be good cooked or eaten raw, perhaps in a salad.  There is a huge tuber which has been too long in the ground and is half rotten.

The pink offshoots will grow into new yacon plants.  Put them immediately into the ground after collecting the tubers and nature will look after the plants.  I will stagger the harvesting of the yacon as they are better preserved underground.
