Dahlia Roots as Sugar Source Declares 0 Percent Sweetening
A report on dahlia roots and sweetener says the dahlias yield no starch like potatoes and that their sugar content is estimated to be zero percent greater than the sugar already obtained from other sources. The flower of autumn is noted for decorative use and potential utility in sugar production.
Sugar from dahlia roots by new chemical process
A process developed by Dr W Safford and Dr R F Jackson converts dahlia roots into sugar. Analysis shows dahlia roots contain inulin rather than starch, yielding levulage syrup for sweetening goods and beverages. A national Bureau of Standards section is evolving large scale production.

Development of Rare Sugars From Dahlia Roots
Richard Vincent Jr of White Marsh Md, president of the American Dahlia Society, supplies tubers for chemical experiments to explore the commercial potential of dahlia roots as a source of rare sugars. A company is formed to cultivate thousands of acres of dahlias, which grow wild in Mexico and Guatemala but can be grown across the United States. The plant offers many forms from eight ray head to a chrysanthemum-like bloom, and dahlias are used decoratively in Guatemala hedges.
