Description
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also known as sunchoke, is a perennial sunflower with edible rhizomes and tubers.
They have an earthy, nutty flavor that some compare to a water chestnut or potato. When cooked, they develop a more starchy texture with a recognizable artichoke aftertaste. Their slightly sweet flavor profile makes them a delicious addition to soups or side dishes.
