Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, showcase an intriguing gnarled appearance, with a texture and taste reminiscent of a nutty jicama or a subtle artichoke heart. These tubers possess a thin, beige skin that encapsulates a crisp and crunchy flesh when raw. A versatile root vegetable that can be enjoyed without peeling, Sunchokes can be roasted to enhance their inherent sweetness, boiled and mashed for a smooth puree, sliced raw into salads for a refreshing crunch, or pickled for a tangy treat. They are esteemed for their prebiotic properties, owing to the natural presence of inulin, and offer a good source of iron, potassium, and thiamine.
