🛍 Product Information：
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also known as sunchoke, sunroot, or earth apple, is a species of sunflower native to central North America. It is a perennial root vegetable cultivated for its edible tubers, which are elongated and knobby, resembling ginger roots in shape, with thin skin in colors ranging from pale brown to white, red, or purple. The tubers are crisp and crunchy when raw, with a sweet, nutty flavor reminiscent of artichoke hearts or water chestnuts. When cooked, they become creamy and develop a mild, earthy sweetness. Rich in inulin (a prebiotic fiber), they are low in calories and beneficial for gut health, though they can cause flatulence in some people due to fermentation in the digestive tract. Versatile in the kitchen, they can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, boiled, or pureed like potatoes, and are popular in Europe for soups, pickles, and even brandy production.

Product Description：Jerusalem artichokes are deliciously sweet, crunchy and nutty and are a sources of B vitamins thiamin and niacin, and iron.
Food Pairing: Artichoke goes well with feta cheese, goat cheese or cream sauces.
Inulin is a naturally occurring soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic fructan found in plants like chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, onions, garlic, and leeks. It resists digestion in the upper GI tract and ferments in the colon, selectively stimulating beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. Scientific evidence from meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials supports several health benefits:
-
Gut Health: Promotes growth of beneficial bacteria, increases short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production (e.g., butyrate), improves bowel regularity, relieves constipation, and strengthens the intestinal barrier.
-
Blood Sugar Control: Reduces fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), particularly in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes patients.
-
Weight Management: Enhances satiety, reduces calorie intake, and supports modest weight loss and BMI reduction, especially in overweight/obese individuals.
-
Other Benefits: May improve lipid profiles (lower cholesterol/triglycerides), enhance mineral absorption (e.g., calcium for bone health), reduce inflammation, and potentially lower risks of metabolic diseases, colon cancer, and depression symptoms.However, high doses (>20-30g/day) can cause side effects like flatulence, bloating, or diarrhea due to fermentation; start low and increase gradually.
