Sunroot

Sunroot (Helianthus tuberosus), also known as Jerusalem artichoke or topinambur, is a root vegetable that belongs to the sunflower family. 

Brief summary as a vegetable: Flavor: slightly sweet, nutty, reminiscent of artichoke hearts or water chestnuts 

Texture: crunchy (raw) to creamy (cooked) 

Preparation: raw in salads, boiled, fried, pureed, roasted, or as a soup 

Nutritional value: rich in inulin (prebiotic fiber), potassium, iron, and low in calories 

Special features: very easy to grow, winter-hardy, but can spread wildly in the garden 

Season: harvestable from October to March (becomes sweeter after frost) 

In short: a forgotten, healthy winter vegetable with a unique flavor and versatile cooking!
