The Jerusalem Artichoke has a flavour similar to globe artichoke, but with much less effort.

It looks like a nobbly potato or piece of ginger root. It is actually a tuber. It has a sweet, nutty taste and can be eaten cooked or raw and is an excellent source of iron.

One word of warning:
The Jerusalem Artichoke is well known to cause wind. If you've never had artichokes before, it's worth trying just a small amount first, until you know how you will react...


Did you know...?
Jerusalem Artichoke has nothing to do with Jerusalem or artichokes. In fact, it's a type of sunflower!


That was from http://vegbox-recipes.co.uk/ingredients/jerusalem-artichoke.php
