Sunchokes, previously known as Jerusalem artichokes
(ain't marketing wonderful) are a species of sunflower
(Helianthus tubersosus) having "edible tuberous roots".
They remind me of water chestnuts in texture, but they 
have a unique pleasant flavor.  They are good additions to
stir-fried dishes, and to assortments of crudites.

Here in California they are widely available in most grocery
stores.  Elsewhere I couldn't say.
