Jerusalem Artichoke (Organic) 1 Pound – Hardy Red Fuseau Variety – (Sunroot 'chokes or Sunchoke) by Yumheart Gardens

Description

The artichoke contains about 2% protein, no oil, and a surprising lack of
starch. It is rich in the carbohydrate inulin (76%), which is a polymer of the
monosaccharide fructose. Tubers stored for any length of time will convert
their inulin into its component fructose. Jerusalem artichokes have an
underlying sweet taste because of the fructose, which is about one and a half
times as sweet as sucrose.[7] Jerusalem artichokes have also been promoted as
a healthy choice for type 2 diabetics because naturally occurring fructose,
i.e. intact or found within the whole food, is easily tolerated by people –
including type 2 diabetics – assuming a diet of normal, i.e. low, non-toxic
sugar intake. It has also been reported as a folk remedy for diabetes
