The Jerusalem Artichoke, also known as Sunchoke is neither from Jerusalem or an artichoke. Although they share a similar flavor to an artichoke, they are actually related to a sunflower. Nonetheless, this brown, knobby root is super delicious. It is an excellent source of potassium and magnesium and works as a prebiotic to help balance your gut system. There are many ways to eat the sunchoke however, my preference is just to roast them.
