Sunchokes - Raw or Cooked Recipe Video

One of our first spring harvest veggies, Sunchokes or Jerusalem Artichokes are mostly grown organically by small farmers. Cook any way you would a potato or raw like a carrot. High in vitamins A & B, Iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iodine. Low-Carb, not starchy like other root veggies, they are also low calorie, low sodium and virtually fat-free. Baked like a potato, they taste quite like artichoke hearts and are very satisfying for those on a low carb regiment. A great spring vegetable.
