Also known as fartichokes. Depending on your personal gut chemistry they may cause unbelievable flatulence. Try a very small portion the first time you eat them. Something about the inulin feeding your gut bacteria. Various methods (pickling, boiling in lemon juice) are said to prevent this. Also some say to leave them in the ground till midwinter.
