How to Eat Jerusalem artichokes? 
The look of this vegetable is like a gingerroot but their texture is closer to a water chestnut when raw and white potato when cooked. Some call the flavor a combination of artichoke and potato, while others feel it tastes like chestnut.

Jerusalem artichokes can be cooked in the same way as potatoes or parsnips, and are excellent roasted, sautéed, dipped in batter and fried, or puréed into a delicious soup.
