Jerusalem Artichoke

Jerusalem Artichoke is a knobby tuber native to North America that is commonly used like a potato—roasted, mashed, or eaten raw in salads—and is also known as sunchoke in many cuisines. It is low in calories and provides notable amounts of minerals, including about 3.4mg of iron per 100g, and is valued for its inulin content, a fermentable carbohydrate that can support beneficial gut bacteria. Overall it’s a nutrient-dense, low‑fat ingredient that adds a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and good mineral content to dishes while contributing some protein and prebiotic fiber.
