It is difficult to imagine that Jerusalem artichokes – also called sunchokes or earth apples – are related to the sunflower. Both belong to the Helianthus genus. Jerusalem artichokes are the irregularly shaped root of one of the varieties, which is grown in several colours.

Nature's Pride earth apples are always light brown to violet, from the Violet Reine variety. The root looks like it is layered, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavour. The inside is white to yellow and the flesh is crunchy and fibrous.

Storage advice

  • Transport and storage: Jerusalem artichokes stay fresh for longer in cool conditions. Storage and transport require a temperature of 4˚C.
  • Shop: Because Jerusalem artichokes tend to dry out fairly quickly, the refrigerated section is ideal.

Recipes & preparation tips

Cleaning Jerusalem artichokes requires little effort: rinsing or brushing them clean is sufficient. Preparation methods are similar to those of the potato: boiling, steaming, deep-frying or cooking in an oven dish. Chips made from Jerusalem artichokes are a surprising variation on potato chips. Soups and purees are also excellent destinations in the kitchen for the versatile root vegetable.
