About Topinambour
Topinambour is a French name for the edible tuber commonly called Jerusalem artichoke or sunchoke. The tubers are knobbly and irregular, with thin tan, reddish, or pale skin and crisp, pale flesh when raw. Their flavour is mildly sweet and nutty, while cooking softens the flesh and brings out a more rounded taste.
The tubers are eaten peeled or unpeeled, raw in thin slices or cooked by methods such as roasting, boiling, and puréeing. They are sold fresh and may vary greatly in shape and size. This entry refers to the tuber, not the plant’s flowers or a prepared product.
