Jerusalem artichoke

Jerusalem artichokes are grown especially for their underground tubers, the roots. These tubers have a texture similar to a potato and have a slightly sweet, even nutty flavor when consumed. Cooking methods for yams include boiling, frying, grating and using them raw in salads. They can also be used as a side dish or puree in various dishes.

Jerusalem artichoke is a nutritious root vegetable and is rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium. It also contains a carbohydrate called inulin, which is a prebiotic, which can be beneficial for digestive health.

This is a plant species that can spread rapidly in the garden ground and is sometimes considered invasive in some regions. It may therefore need to be carefully controlled by gardeners. Jerusalem artichoke is an interesting option for those looking for a tasty and different root vegetable experience.
