About Jerusalem artichoke

Jerusalem artichoke is the edible tuber of a sunflower relative, despite its name having no connection to the globe artichoke. The knobbly tubers have thin tan, cream or reddish skin and pale flesh; they are usually sold fresh and may be peeled or cooked with the skin on.

The raw tuber is crisp and mildly sweet, while cooking makes it tender with a sweet, earthy flavour. It can be roasted, boiled, sautéed or eaten raw in thin slices. Shape and skin colour vary among tubers.
