DID YOU KNOW the Jerusalem artichoke, also known as Sunroot or Sunchoke, is the root of a species of wild sunflower?  It contains inulin, a natural sugar that has minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it a good addition to the diets of diabetics.  It also helps to stimulate insulin production.  Jerusalem artichokes have a mild, sweet, nutty flavor and can be prepared similar to potatoes- boiled or roasted, then peeled and enjoyed in a variety of dishes.
