Sourced from Holland's celebrated growing regions, our Jerusalem artichoke — better known to chefs as the sunchoke — is a knobby little tuber with an outsized reputation. Beneath its thin, edible skin lies a nutty, subtly sweet flesh: crisp and clean when eaten raw, silky and rich once cooked, with echoes of water chestnut and true artichoke heart.

At The Fishwives, we love it roasted whole alongside a fillet of white fish, shaved thinly into a salad for a bright, nutty crunch, or gently puréed into a refined, restaurant-worthy soup. A distinctive, chef-favoured addition for the curious cook ready to try something a little different this week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Jerusalem artichoke?

Despite the name, the Jerusalem artichoke has no connection to Jerusalem or to the globe artichoke. It's a knobby tuber from a species of sunflower native to North America, prized for its nutty, subtly sweet flavour and crisp texture.

Do I need to peel Jerusalem artichokes before cooking?

No — the skin is thin and entirely edible. A gentle scrub under running water is all that's needed. Peeling is only necessary if you prefer a completely smooth purée.

Can I eat Jerusalem artichokes raw?

Yes. Raw sunchokes have a clean, nutty crunch similar to water chestnut, making them an excellent addition to salads when shaved thinly on a mandoline.

How should I store Jerusalem artichokes?

Keep them refrigerated in a paper or perforated bag and use within 1–2 weeks for the best flavour and texture. Avoid sealed plastic, which traps moisture and speeds spoilage.

Why do Jerusalem artichokes sometimes cause digestive discomfort?

Sunchokes are naturally high in inulin, a prebiotic fibre that some people find harder to digest in large quantities. Cooking thoroughly and starting with smaller portions can help if you're trying them for the first time.
