Jerusalem artichoke is a root vegetable that forms an edible tuber underground. The figures here refer to the flesh only, boiled in unsalted water. Per 100g, it provides 207 kJ of energy, 11g of carbohydrate, 420mg of potassium and 0.1g of fat. Carbohydrate is its main energy-providing nutrient.
Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Jerusalem artichoke prepared this way contains very little fat or salt. Added salt, butter or sauces can change its nutritional content, which is worth noting when monitoring salt, saturated fat or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
