A sunchoke seed is a seed which may be grown in an allotment patch by players with 87 Farming.

Planting the seed grants the player 208 Farming experience, and harvesting the resulting sunchoke provides the player with an amount of Strength experience that varies by skill level, as well as 95 Farming experience. It can be protected by paying a farmer 15 Yanillian hops. It can be obtained from Herblore Habitat and also by pickpocketing gnomes, elves and dwarf traders. You need 3 seeds to fill one allotment.
