Jerusalem artichokes:
(also known as sunchokes, sunroots, or earth apples) are the edible, knobby tubers of a type of sunflower (Helianthus tuberosus), native to North America. They are a versatile root vegetable with a sweet, nutty flavor and a crisp texture when raw, which becomes creamy and potato-like when cooked. Sunchokes are high in the prebiotic fiber inulin, which is beneficial for gut health and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making them a good option for diabetics. They are also a good source of potassium and iron. (source: generative AI)
