Use
The tuber can be eaten raw, for example grated in a salad, but also steamed, fried or baked. Boiling is not recommended, as this gives the vegetable a very dull flavour.
Storage
Jerusalem artichokes should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in a cellar. They keep in the fridge for a maximum of two weeks.
