Harvesting Ground Apple | What Is It? What Does It Taste Like?

[@amaaryousif]

I am from Iraq and this is an ancient vegetable that we've been using for centuries and the way we eat it we pickle it just like your normal cucumber pickle and it tastes amazing so crunchy

[@alisonmiller2708]

The digging at 2:14 and onward was very satisfying. Reminds me of why gardening is so exciting, comforting and addictive. 😊

[@deemueller6470]

I'm convinced that gardening saved my husband's life. Every time I got mad at him I would go out and hoe the plants! True statement-- we did divorce 6 months later but it really helped with my anger issues toward him. It was a win/win situation really. Prettiest garden I ever had!

[@omnitv8187]

Thanks for constantly teaching me new plant varieties!

[@plantabundance]

I appreciate that Brandon. Thanks for tuning in!

[@tamaraviso777]

Grew these and they werent sweet straight out of the ground and i didnt understand how people were calling them sweet , but after sitting on the counter for about 2-3 months they became absolutely sweet and well worth the wait ,so as far as i have seen if you want it sweet let it sit for a while, i will be trying to propagate as much of these as possible they are so good

[@Broxty]

You seem like such a chill and humble dude.

[@dsuppal9059]

it so good, i love nature, the greenery the fregnance coming from trees and soil

[@Geordo1960]

That plant looks so good and satisfying, and it must be packed full of vitamins and minerals as well!

[@crimsonblade19ify]

I think it'd be hilarious to talk about these with a French person :) "Would you like a ground apple?" "Are you making fun of me for how I say potato?"

[@obiromaine3784]

Oh, that is too funny....

[@Marc-or4dn]

Yes, in French we call this "ground pear" (for yacon) Ground apple is the potatoe... And potatoe can be understood as the sweet potato...

[@bbaox4408]

Omg. Thank you!!! Growing up my mom we always ate these and I never knew what they were call. I love these so much!

[@kerstboom20000]

very very nice clip. Thank you very much Dan.

[@welortiz8052]

wow its my first time to see a ground apple..looks good😋

[@senseik6766]

Very well spoken sir.

[@origamiSnow]

Thank you thank you for including the scientific name and the zones! A very helpful video!

[@chibimisaki2970]

They look yummy and interesting. I want to grow some. I’m going to look into it more and see if my yard would be a good spot

[@cyndytran8509]

Such a calming voice, and so informative!

[@southernlongleafoutdoors6304]

Interesting, I've never heard of ground apples before. Thank you very much for this.

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

I appreciate the introduction to edible plants that I can add to my garden.

[@hoverstenacres7033]

Love the variety of plants you introduce to us

[@amandaamendola27]

Dan I think you are awesome and I love how you share your knowledge.

[@sniperwolfjs]

Yacon, Peruvian Ground Apple. Cool beans. I guess like mexican Jicama. Looks tasty and very juicy. Thanks. Looking for another item to add to the garden. Keep up the great work.

[@dornspinnchenspinne2392]

I just harvested my first yacon. After some days I tryed it and U am very impressed. So delicious! Greetings from Europe!

[@lunyang9160]

Was in my recommended so I clicked.. no regrets! Cool video

[@michelletetreault7705]

I have never seen that! So cool! Thank you for showing us!

[@sanjapones1577]

Cool video, I'll be buying those for next spring.

[@raycycleit8311]

Wow! Never heard of this. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllAroundSarah]

Hi hello 👋 from Florida here , been watching your videos and , love your videos , I am a Filipino also like your wife , I am trying to learn from and making videos hopefully I can inspire other people

[@drewyardley7685]

I have yacon growing at the moment, two are in pots and one in the garden. I found last year the ones in the pots grew more tubers than the one in the ground, guess that’s due to the soil type. I’m growing Jicama this year also which I have never grown before, it will be interesting to see what that tastes like.

[@thefranks8726]

This seems like a plant with some interesting possibilities... would it be suitable to turn into a kind of “applesauce”? Maybe blended up with some strawberries and canned. It would be pretty neat if it would work that way. Apple trees can take years to begin producing, and it seems like this thing only takes a season.

[@jobla7124]

Looked so good I went to eBay and ordered a few rhizomes!

[@nenaenriquez3480]

Is this fruit also called yacon?

[@cedarsenger9729]

Thanks dan! That was fun.

[@kethokevis634]

Ehhhhhmmmmm....that bite had my mouth full of water 😃

[@elizabethndirangu4517]

Am new here and am excited about Yacon,thank you for educating us ❤

[@Mr_Joseph979]

Amazing. I never knew those existed. Thanks

[@bakcompat]

I tried growing yacon in my backyard garden a few years ago. It didn't survive my zone 9b heatwave. I'd like to try it again in the future. Maybe I need more mulch and water to keep it going through the blast furnace here.

[@whatcha-eatin2985]

Love watching you eat!

[@RomaniaDeAzi]

in my country we call them NAPI...with accent on the N... we used them instead of potatoes in the past...

[@indigodragon7129]

Be neat to add those to your juicer to give a higher yeild of juice. 😊

[@phiethekid6046]

In Indonesia we called it Bengkoang. It is good for your skin cause it’s contain lots of vitamin E.

[@itscumela]

Hi! How did you start this type of plant? From seeds? If so where did you purchase? Thanks! ☺️

[@Realatmx]

You should try grow artichoke and Jerusalem artichoke 😊 they both are very delicious😋

[@rj4901]

I really want to get the yakon plant but I live in Southwestern Ontario do you have any idea where I can purchase the plant or tubers to be able to grow

[@vincentpainchaud7174]

Funny! In french, ground apple is "pomme de terre", which is how we call... potatoes!

[@alliwanttosayis2144]

Yes in Chinese we call it xue Lian(雪莲）

[@jimmyboddingtons6278]

Hello sir, can you grow yacon from tubers? The thing that you eat, not from the root.

[@mamg2388]

Dude you just made my mouth 🤤, it looks like jicama

[@daleerickson625]

thanks it's something that I'll try.

[@RedRiot7451]

What is the typical water content of ground apples?

[@feiergott7591]

great video

[@macrokaiju]

kinda reminds me of a canna. even sound it makes when you dig it up. Like itsa similar root structure.

[@deepspire]

Heh.. "Ground apple" was my grandpa's euphemism for poop. Subscribed.

[@bethb8276]

It is a name for horse poop in particular since that tends to have a rounded shape to it.

[@bilwisss]

can it be compared to a jicama?
