Jerusalem artichoke is an edible root and a relative of the sunflower. Despite its name, it does not originate from Jerusalem but is native to North America. It is highly valued for its nutritional composition, with its most notable feature being its high inulin content, which acts as a prebiotic.

Inulin is a type of soluble dietary fiber that acts as a prebiotic. In the human body, inulin is not broken down by digestive enzymes in the small intestine, meaning it reaches the large intestine almost unchanged. There, it serves as food for beneficial gut bacteria (such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus). The fermentation of inulin by these bacteria leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyric acid, which is a primary energy source for colon cells and has a positive effect on the intestinal barrier and immune system.

The high inulin content may help reduce sugar absorption, supporting the maintenance of more stable blood sugar levels.

Tea form: Drinking Jerusalem artichoke tea is a convenient way to incorporate inulin into your daily routine without consuming the tubers directly. The beverage is natural and provides a mild, warm way to stay hydrated.
