Tip
As he althy as Jerusalem artichoke is, if the intestinal flora has not yet gotten used to the fiber, unpleasant flatulence or diarrhea can occur. Therefore, initially consume a maximum of half a tuber. For example, you can process these into puree together with potatoes or eat them peeled and raw. Once the digestion has got used to the fiber, the unpleasant side effects no longer occur.
