Yesterday we had Jerusalem artichoke soup, because on Saturday we unexpectedly harvested a lot of Jerusalem artichokes in the garden. The bed is about 2m x 2m and while digging one tuber after the other tumbled to the surface, certainly 3 kg! Officially, the season is over at the weekend, but hey you can still get them at organic stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must confess, until now I was not such a huge fan of Jerusalem artichoke. I really like the plant and flower and also how easily it grows in the garden. However, I have never quite warmed to the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That has just changed. At the feed from dear Anya of Tegernsee_Kitchen<\/a> I had seen a picture of a Jerusalem artichoke soup, topped with Jerusalem artichoke chips. Inspired by this, I gave the tuber another chance and what can I say? The soup is really delicious and the chips are the insanely good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Jerusalem artichoke anyway?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jerusalem artichoke is a tuberous vegetable, similar to the potato. Originally the plant comes from North and Central America and came to Europe in the 17th century. Here it was a staple food for a long time, until it was largely displaced by the potato. Jerusalem artichoke is easy to grow in your own garden, the plant blooms a cheerful yellow. However, the Jerusalem artichoke likes to sprawl, so you have to keep an eye on the spread, otherwise the plant will take over the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutrients Jerusalem artichoke:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the potato, Jerusalem artichoke does not contain starch. The root is very rich in fiber and provides a lot of potassium, magnesium and calcium. However, Jerusalem artichoke eaten raw can cause flatulence, so don’t go overboard here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inulin contained in Jerusalem artichoke stabilizes the blood sugar level and thus relieves the important metabolic organs pancreas and liver. The tuber is also particularly suitable for diabetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
