Jerusalem artichoke, a member of the sunflower family, is a fascinating root vegetable that’s named after the Native American tribe Topinambo.

What makes Jerusalem artichoke stand out is its high INULIN (fiber, PREBIOTIC) content that feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, promoting a healthier digestive and immune system. Unlike other root vegetables that rely on starch as their main carbohydrate source, Jerusalem artichoke uses inulin to store energy, which has a much lower impact on blood sugar levels. Besides inulin, this versatile vegetable is packed with a treasure trove of essential nutrients, including a complex of B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin), antioxidants, and minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and manganese. It’s also rich in pectin.

Growing Jerusalem artichokes comes with ease due to their natural resistance to pests and diseases, making them perfect for organic farming. They thrive well and produce a large amount of biomass, which can be left in the soil as a green manure.
