Chorogi can be left in the ground all winter, but be aware that they're about the shallowest tuber there is, so even little mice can wreak havoc with them.

Would that be Chinese artichoke? Little mint-like plants? Wait until the first frost kills the tops before harvesting their ivory scorpion-tail delights (or any tuber, for that matter). There's no peeling required, but it takes a little practice to stir-fry these just right so that they're lightly brown but still firm.


I think they are called chirogi but the tubers do not have a crescent shape, more like a small spiral seashell. The plants grow tall, resembling mint.
Can they be left in the ground and dug when wanted?

Thank you for all the help.

Donna, Tennessee
