The piece discusses using artichoke sugar or jevulose as a sweeter substitute for cane sugar. Even vast yields would require millions of acres, impacting surplus corn acreage. It notes jevulose is 50 to 75 percent sweeter than sucrose and explores mixing dextrose with leutosa to achieve desired sweetness.
The article notes a Washington Bureau of Standards process for crystallizing artichoke sugar from water like cane sugar, reducing costs. It argues artichokes could become a profitable crop and substitute for surplus corn and wheat, with storage resilience enabling extended grinding seasons.
The article notes artichokes yield about 16 tons per acre with 12 percent sugar content and hardy growth across the United States. It compares early sugar beet content, 6 percent, later reaching 15 percent through breeding, suggesting artichokes may improve with selection and offer cost advantages over cane and beet sugar.
