Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 It has been a few weeks since I tried something new so when I went to the store today I looked for something new to try. I saw some Jerusalem Artichokes and I haven't eaten or cooked them before. I went ahead and bought some. Any advice how to prepare them? Also, does anybody know what it is about them that make them beneficial? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi Don, I love Jerusalem Artichokes scrubbed clean, then sliced into my salad. Delicious and crunchy. I have also added them (as I would potatoes) with a roast along with the carrots and onions. You can use them like potatoes. Of course, they are certainly more expensive than potatoes. Most of time I use raw in salads. Hope this helps some. Lorrie - CA - O+Sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Lorrie, Thank you for the idea of using sliced Jerusalem Artichokes in a salad. I did that for lunch today and enjoyed the addition to my salad. I also sliced and steamed one to see what it was like cooked. It was good too. I still have a couple so I will have to get a roast and add some to it and try them that way too. They definitely were more expensive then potatoes. I think I paid $1.89/lbs. I understand the season for Jerusalem Artichokes is Oct. to March so they may be better priced then. I don't expect I will buy them very often, but now that I have tried them I am sure I will continue to use them from time to time since they are listed as being beneficial.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hi Don, You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed them too. Your price paid is about right although at times they have been over $3.00. I don't buy them then. Will have to get more myself, have missed them in my salads. Not all the grocery stores stock them in my area, so they sometimes hard to find. Lorrie in Calif.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Don, BTW - one time I kept one back till it had about 5 -6 shoots on it, planted it in yard and later harvested some of my own. Try it if you have a space to grow them. Lorrie --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 I found the Jerusalem Artichokes at the HFS I shop at a couple of times a month. I don't think I will find them at the other 3 normal grocery stores I shop at. There are other beneficial vegetables that I haven't found locally yet. I did hear that I can special order dandelion greens at the HFS. Maybe that will be the next new thing I try. Don Huntsville, AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Thanks for the planting idea. I really should start gardening again. Although, where I live now I have a very small yard and only a very small area of it gets a good dose of sun. Still I am sure I could grow a few good veggies, at least better then most of what I buy. I also really want to plant some blueberry bushes! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use those a lot along with the frozen rasberries and the frozen pineapple tidbits. Those three mixed together make a great desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
