Topinambur
about this product

Topinambur, also known as Jerusalem artichoke or sunchoke, is a knobbly root vegetable with a delicate nutty flavour and a slightly sweet, earthy taste. Its texture is wonderfully crisp when raw, and turns soft and creamy when roasted or cooked. Perfect for salads, sides or comforting winter dishes, topinambur is a fun ingredient to try if you love something a little different (and delicious!).
