Jerusalem Artichokes:  Native to America

Jerusalem artichoke is a native North American tuber and it has been a staple food in the diet of North American Indians for centuries. They are neither from Jerusalem nor are they artichokes.  They are actually related to the sunflower family.  The name "Jerusalem" is derived from the Italian word girasole, meaning "sunflower" and they are sometimes called "sunchokes".  The vegetable has a sweet, nutty flavor and crisp texture.
