Rare Crop Ray Cook harvests a rare crop - Jerusalem artichokes. Brought to the U.S. by his grandfather in the mid-19th century, the tuberous vegetable has nothing to do with the other kind of artichoke. It looks like a potato, tastes like a water chestnut, is low in calories, chock-full of potassium and thiamine - and it grows like a weed.
