John's query on yacon reminded me of a question I've thought about posing to the list for some time. I work with a community garden in a densely urban section of Baltimore, MD (zone 7a, but with additional inner city heat retention). A number of our most beloved gardeners are diabetic and we grow Jerusalem artichokes partially because of they don't upset their blood-sugar levels. We've ordered yacon for next season with this in mind. I'm curious if anyone has tips for other particularly diabetic friendly fare - especially those that are as delicious and easy to cultivate as the two I've mentioned.
As always, thanks to everyone for the great conversation.
