And peel in potato is thick, and in artichoke is thin,and faster spoiling , and for better and longer keeping theirs, you need pour over a sand or earth and put in cool place. And till spring a harvest you cannot save,thus autumn, and winter begin are good using her in meal, and till a new year in us is never kept,everyday we are eaten his. And his taste on begin is strange,as raw kind for tubers taste,like in green cabbage hard side,slightly sweet and very crunch.  And boiled kind they are sweeter, but to this taste you are habit faster, when you are known,that he is very benefit.
