JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES
Jerusalem
artichokes have a distinctive sweet, earthy flavour. They can be added to
soups, stews, stir frys or roasted by themselves. There`s no need to peel them just scrub them clean and chop, slice or
grate.
Health benefits
Jerusalem
artichokes have historically been used as a dietary supplement for people
suffering from diabetes and other pancreatic complaints to reduce blood sugar
levels and minimize the need for insulin.
Unlike
the potato where its starch breaks down to glucose affecting blood sugar, the
Jerusalem Artichoke is high in inulin which
only breaks down to fructose in the colon. As a result, they have a very low
glycemic index and barely affect blood sugar levels. They are also high in the
prebiotic FOS (Fructo Oligo Saccharide) which
helps to build good gut flora and to balance yeast in the body and gut. Inulin, the
carbohydrate found in Jerusalem artichokes, is counted as a prebiotic because it
is not readily digestible. Inulin is
different from insulin but perhaps mimics it.
Historically, the effects of inulin on humans include the relief of
constipation, lowering of blood glucose levels, improvement of calcium
absorption, reduction of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and the inhibition of the growth of
various kinds of cancer.
