Hi Joanne, We have just become aware of the health benefits of JA and want to try and grow some again. We were successful a couple of years ago, but the flatulence effect put us off so we did not keep any seed stock. With the benefit of Asa Foetida powder to control the 'gas' we may try again. However, we have been unable to source them here in the Perth Hills. Please let us know whether you can send us some and how you would like to be paid for the postage. I suppose we can always mail you postage stamps to cover the cost. Regards.

For all of you who may be concernded about undesirable side effects from eating Jerusalem artichokes: Try sprinkling a pinch or two of Asa Foetida powder into the appropriate cooking utensil just before completing the cooking. The Indian vegetarians have used Asa Foetida for centuries, to combat and eliminate flatulence caused by bean and other vegetarian dishes. It could work with the Artichokes too.
