Jerusalem artichoke

The Jerusalem artichoke, is a forgotten vegetable. This root vegetable looks a bit like ginger, with a light purple to light brown skin. Its flavour is mildly sweet and nutty, similar to that of an artichoke. You can eat Jerusalem artichokes raw in a salad or cook them warm — in soups, purees, or other dishes.

Smart
tips

To peel or not to peel?

The skin of a Jerusalem artichoke is edible, so there’s no need to peel it. But if you want to make a mash, it’s best to peel the tuber with a peeler.

How to keep the colour looking fresh

To preserve the beautiful pink-purple colour of Jerusalem artichokes, add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar while cooking the tubers.
