***sunchokes must be stored cool and humid - keep in bag in fridge***

Native to our bioregion, these tubers are a member of the sunflower family. Raw, they have a sweet, nut-like flavor with crisp texture resembling water chestnut. They are a unique and delicious addition to both raw and cooked dishes. Baked, they ooze with their sugars. They add great umami flavor to soups, stews, and casseroles.

These tubers store carbs in the form of inulin, and sugar as levelose, and are therefore sought out by diabetics. Sunchokes are a powerful prebiotic, which is a food that feeds our all-important internal microbiota. The more food, or prebiotics, that probiotics have to eat, the more efficiently these live bacteria work and the healthier your gut will be - more and more, science is showing THIS to be the foundation of health.

Ferment or boil/serve with lemon juice for aided digestibility of the inulin carbohydrate.
