It is real hard to find here in Texas and I was wondering if anyone happened to know someone that might be growing some, Or know how to get some in their area? www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/yummy-yacon.aspx#axzz2nwKmFR3K

Any descriptions on how they actually taste? Like an apple, a pair, what?

From my understanding this tastes like a cross between a watermelon and an apple. I have only spoken to a man in Australia that has grown them and eaten them himself. I did manage to find a man that was selling them for 10 bucks (tubers with three roots ) and 5 dollars shipping. It will be here on or by the 31st.. When I get them growing and as soon as I am able to eat them, I will let you know for sure. I CAN'T WAIT....!

This is unusual and so I was super excited when I got the email stating it was already shipped. I appreciate your help. I am also on a waiting list for March I believe.
