Jerusalem artichoke syrup: two ways to prepare syrup from “earthen pear”
Jerusalem artichoke is a close relative of the sunflower. The yellow flowers of this plant are very similar to its counterpart, but are smaller in size and lack edible seeds. Instead, the Jerusalem artichoke bears fruit from its root. Tubers are widely used in cooking. They are used both raw and after heat treatment. Wonderful vitamin-rich salads are prepared from raw “ground pears,” and the boiled product serves as the basis for jams and preserves.
Jerusalem artichoke jam: options for preparing a healthy dessert - how to make jam from earthen pear
Jerusalem artichoke, or as it is otherwise called, earthen pear, is not just a vegetable plant, but a storehouse of health! Tuberous roots, foliage, and flowers also have beneficial properties. The green part of the plant and flower stalks are used to feed animals, and a delicious tea is also prepared from them. Tubers are used for food, both raw and heat-treated. The earthen pear is especially valued by people suffering from diabetes, since the composition of the root crops of this plant contains inulin, which is vital for them. Fructose, which is produced from inulin, can replace sugar for diabetics, so Jerusalem artichoke preparations are becoming increasingly popular for people in this category.
