The Sunchoke plant was an important food source during the 19th century. The pleasantly nutty-tasting Sunchoke consists of about 40% of inulin, a swellable, indigestible carbohydrate. Inulin is incorporated into a variety of plants as a reserve material.
Unlike starch, inulin is composed of many fructose units, which are made available to the plant as energy supply is required. Recommended use: Take 2-3 teaspoons daily. The powder can be added to dairy products and salad dressings or used during baking.
