It's been said that adding a bit of potato to beans decreases the incidence of "wind" (fart!). Maybe that would work with sunchokes. If bacteria in our guts digest inulin, who is digesting them? There must be some way to get more energy out of them, such as fermentation, other than cooking them forever. Too many crops recommended by permaculturists require extra cooking, which means more fossil fuel or wood use. This doesn't seem like a good solution for a staple food.
