Originating from America, \u003c\/span\u003eJerusalem artichokes\u003cspan\u003e were cultivated in Europe in the early 1600s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh in iron and potassium, they’re a very healthy vegetable and good for diabetics due to their low glycemic index and low starch levels, making them a lower calorie alternative to \u003c\/span\u003epotato\u003cspan\u003e. The only downside is the high levels of inulin Jerusalem artichokes contain, which the body's digestive enzymes cannot break down. This job gets left to bacteria in the gut, turning it into CO2. This can result in excess gas in some people; giving them the friendly nickname \"fartichokes\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJerusalem artichokes have a versatile, nutty, earthy flavour and taste not too dissimilar to globe artichokes and salsify.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edible Canopy","offers":[{"title":"9cm","offer_id":58837062517120,"sku":"PL-5141","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/6882\/2656\/files\/2025_slonecznik_bulwiasty__1.jpg?v=1788297559","url":"https:\/\/ediblecanopy.com\/products\/jerusalem-artichoke","provider":"Edible Canopy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
