Sunchokes can be served raw, roasted, fried, pureed into soups, or steamed. Similarly to celery root, sunchokes will oxidize when sliced, so it's best to use them right away or store them in acidulated water (water with the juice of one lemon) if not using immediately.

What The Heck Do I Do With Sunchokes?

What goes well with Jerusalem artichokes?

Jerusalem artichokes are best friends with herbs and spices: rosemary, bay, parsley and pepper, cardamom and nutmeg are the best flavours to add to soups, salads and risottos. They also go hand in hand with citrus, especially the peel; try grating some onto baked Jerusalem artichokes.

How do I make my Sunchokes less gassy?

Modern science concurs: “Boiling Jerusalem artichokes in an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar will hydrolyze the inulin to fructose and small amounts of glucose,” Rastall advises. So I gave it a try, boiling quarter-inch-thick sunchoke slices for 15 minutes in just enough lemon juice to cover them.

Do you refrigerate Sunchokes?

It's important to handle sunchokes with care as they bruise easily. Raw sunchokes should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from light. They may also be stored in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towels to absorb humidity, and sealed in a plastic bag.

Are Sunchokes healthier than potatoes?

Unlike potatoes, sunchokes have no starchy carbohydrates. Rather, they are an excellent source of inulin, a natural storage carbohydrate present in more than 36,000 species of plants, including wheat, onion, bananas, garlic, asparagus, chicory and sunchokes.

Why do Sunchokes cause gas?

The gaseous effects of Sunchokes are caused by the high content of a carbohydrate called Inulin. Our digestive system is not able to digest this carb, while the bacteria in our colons absolutly thrive on it. As one of the other answers outlines: the most accepted remedy is cold storage or late harvesting.

Does Jerusalem artichoke make you fart?

Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) do indeed have a gassy reputation. The sweetness comes from high levels of inulin, a soluble fibre that passes intact through the digestive system until it reaches the colon, where gut bacteria break it down then release gas.

Can I eat Jerusalem artichokes raw?

Jerusalem artichokes are very versatile. You can eat them raw or cooked. They can be mashed, roasted or sautéed. They can be dried and ground into flour.

Should you peel Jerusalem artichokes?

Just scrub them clean - there's no need to peel them (should you wish to, a teaspoon works well). If you do peel them, drop them into acidulated water until you're ready to use them because the flesh discolours quickly. Keep an eye on them while cooking as they can turn to mush quite quickly.

Can Sunchokes give you gas?

Redzepi never serves the tuber raw because inulin, the carbohydrate found in sunchokes, can cause serious gas and bloating — hence the nickname. ...

What the heck is a Sunchoke?
