7 Health Benefits Of Jerusalem Artichoke

The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) or sunroot is a species of sunflower native to eastern North America and found from eastern Canada and Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas. It is not related to the domestic artichoke, but rather to asters, daisies, and sunflowers. Sunroots are cultivated for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable.

How about rutabaga or kohlrabi? I plan to get some Jerusalem artichoke and I'm thinking about making flour from it. I am diabetic.

I am taking the powder and it's very effective. It's slightly sweet. I add it to coffee or just water. Thanks for sharing!
