◎ How to Eat
◆ Jerusalem Artichoke with Miso (skin on) or Sweet and Sour Pickles → Enjoy plenty of inulin!
Wash the Jerusalem artichoke thoroughly. Since inulin is concentrated near the skin, do not peel it. Slice thinly for easy eating.
Serve with 1 tablespoon of miso, dipping the sliced Jerusalem artichoke.

◆ Jerusalem Artichoke Potage-style Soup
Wrap the peeled Jerusalem artichoke in plastic wrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes.
Blend with a small amount of water in a mixer. Heat in a pot and enjoy with your favorite flavorings such as consommé, tomato, or cream.

◆ Jerusalem Artichoke Wakame Salad, dressed dishes, or Miso Soup
Peel and julienne the raw Jerusalem artichoke. Arrange on a plate with lettuce, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, etc., and dress as desired. It can also be prepared in various dressed dishes.
It has a crisp texture similar to Japanese yam.

□ Storage Method
Jerusalem artichokes spoil quickly after harvesting, so we recommend consuming them as soon as possible.
For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator (wrapped in damp newspaper) or in the soil.
If they become slightly soft, soaking them in water for about half a day will revive them.
