Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchoke, look a little bit like large knobs of ginger. However, a Jerusalem artichoke taste is slightly nutty and savoury, like a cross between an artichoke heart and a potato. How do you eat Jerusalem artichokes? Jerusalem artichokes taste great in a variety of different dishes. Like other root vegetables, they can be roasted, sautéed, fried, or even sliced thinly and made into chips (crisps). They can also be used raw in salads, or puréed to make delicious soups and risotto.
