Artichoke (Jerusalem) - Certified Organic - 1kg

Jerusalem artichokes - Certified Organic. Knobbly, nutty and wildly underrated, with a sweet, earthy flavour that sits somewhere between a potato and a water chestnut.

Jerusalem artichokes are a bit of a cult favourite in Northern Rivers kitchens, and once you've roasted them you'll understand why.

The skin is edible, so there's no need to peel. Just scrub, cook and enjoy.

In the kitchen

• Roasted whole until golden and caramelised
• Sliced thinly and pan-fried in butter until crisp
• Simmered into a silky soup with leek and thyme
• Shaved raw into a salad with lemon

How to prepare

Scrub well under running water with a brush. No need to peel. Drop cut pieces into lemony water so they don't brown.
