It has no connection whatsoever with Jerusalem. I suspect the name Jerusalem artichoke was probably a corruption of its Italian name Girasola articiocco. The funnier part is that Jerusalem artichoke is not even an artichoke. What you eat is a lumpy, brown-skinned tuber that resembles a gingerroot. This vegetable is usually called the Sun Choke because its small flower resembles the sun flower. Jerusalem artichoke has an edible tuberous-root that is nutty, sweet and crunchy. Always buy Jerusalem artichokes that are firm and fresh-looking and not soft or wrinkled. The root may be peeled or, because the skin is very thin and quite nutritious, simply washed well before being used. Jerusalem artichokes can be eaten raw in salads or cooked by boiling or steaming and served as a side dish. They also make a delicious soup. Click for : Healthy Veggies Recipes
