How to make Jerusalem artichoke powder at home

Jerusalem artichoke root has a low energy value, but is rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and inulin, a substance that has an effect similar to insulin. This makes it an indispensable product for dietary nutrition, especially if the need to follow a diet is associated with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. However, few people include this valuable product in their home menu. This is due to the fact that tuberous sunflower, as the earthen pear is correctly called, is not considered an agricultural crop and is not used in traditional cooking. Many housewives have no idea what dishes can be prepared from Jerusalem artichoke. We decided to fill this gap by presenting 12 recipes for salads, soups, side dishes, main courses and desserts from the Jerusalem artichoke, sharing the secrets of preparing it at home.

Cooking features

Externally, Jerusalem artichoke resembles ginger or celery root and is used raw in much the same way. Also, its tubers are often compared to a pear, as they have a sweetish taste and a pear-like consistency. When preparing main courses or side dishes, Jerusalem artichoke is often replaced with potatoes. Dried and crushed tubers are used instead of starch or flour, this allows you to make healthy baked goods.

Raw Jerusalem artichoke tastes like a cabbage stalk with nutty notes. Some consider it similar to asparagus and artichoke. Roasted earthen pear resembles frozen potatoes, but has mushroom notes.

Knowing the properties of Jerusalem artichoke, it’s easy to come up with recipes for appetizers and soups made from it by analogy with familiar products. Regardless of whether you invent your own version of a dish made from earthen pears or intend to use a ready-made solution that you found in our selection, knowledge of several features of preparing Jerusalem artichoke will be useful to you.

  • The first question that a housewife who wants to cook an earthen pear will have to do with the time of cooking, stewing, and baking Jerusalem artichoke. The answer is simple: Jerusalem artichoke takes the same amount of time to cook as potatoes, or even a little faster.
  • The second question that inexperienced cooks often ask is related to the need to heat treat the earthen pear. Is it necessary? Will this reduce the benefits of the vegetable? During heat treatment, most of the beneficial properties of Jerusalem artichoke are preserved, but not all: for example, there will be almost no vitamin C left in it after boiling or baking. You can eat Jerusalem artichoke raw, but in limited quantities, since excessive consumption of raw earthen pear can cause bloating. It is not advisable to offer raw Jerusalem artichoke salads to children under 5 years of age. There are no other contraindications to eating earthen pears without heat treatment.
  • The third question that can confuse a novice cook is related to cold processing of the product: is it necessary to peel the Jerusalem artichoke? It is believed that if the tubers are thoroughly washed, there is no need to peel them, especially since this is not the most pleasant task. However, this can only be done if you grew the earthen pear yourself without adding excessive amounts of fertilizer - tuberous sunflower quickly absorbs various substances, including nitrates. If you are not confident in the environmental safety of the product, it is better not to be lazy and clean it.

The main points that you need to know when preparing Jerusalem artichoke dishes at home are now no longer a secret to you. You can move on to the recipes. If you follow a diabetic menu, choose dishes that do not contain foods high in fast carbohydrates or in which they are present in minimal quantities.

Jerusalem artichoke dishes

How to make Jerusalem artichoke powder at home

Jerusalem artichoke removed from the ground is very poorly stored. Therefore, when grown on an industrial scale, the optimal way to store it is thermal (or cryogenic) drying and subsequent processing into powder in ball mills.

Before drying, the Jerusalem artichoke is thoroughly washed and crushed into chips. The thermal method involves long-term exposure of raw materials to high temperatures (up to +50 C). During cryogenic processing, Jerusalem artichoke chips are dehydrated using low temperatures. At the same time, the raw materials are enriched with biologically active elements. So in cryopowder the concentration of minerals increases significantly. In addition, such flour can be stored for a long time without losing its beneficial properties.

At home, you can prepare Jerusalem artichoke powder using the same technological scheme. Remove the tubers from the ground, wash with a stiff brush and dry. Cut into very thin slices, dry in an electric dryer, oven, or any other way. Then grind in a coffee grinder until it becomes powdery. The benefits of homemade Jerusalem artichoke powder are much greater than those of its industrial counterpart.

Harvesting Jerusalem artichoke

Jerusalem artichoke saves us from many diseases, and at the same time provides the opportunity to enjoy delicious and healthy dishes created on its basis. Collecting and preparing Jerusalem artichoke is a rather labor-intensive process, but all the labor costs pay off with interest.


From North America, Jerusalem artichoke first came to France - the navigator Samuel Champlain contributed to the spread of useful tubers. Already in the eighteenth century, the plant appeared in Russia - the history of its cultivation in our region is not stable (interest in this crop either increases or subsides).

Harvest and storage

The Jerusalem artichoke harvest is harvested not only in autumn, but also in spring. This crop is interesting because the tubers can overwinter under the snow without losing their beneficial properties and taste (thus, it makes no sense to harvest the entire crop at once). In order to protect useful tubers as much as possible during wintering, the beds are covered with any mulching material (thanks to this, Jerusalem artichoke can withstand frosts down to -40°C). It has been noticed that thawing and freezing again, Jerusalem artichoke remains quite edible.

During the spring harvest, the location of the tubers is determined by the stumps remaining from the cut plants. In autumn, the harvest is harvested in October-November. Until this time, the aerial part under the root is not cut off (be sure to leave 15-17 cm), since the outflow of nutrients is still ongoing. If you do not follow this recommendation, the plant productivity drops noticeably. Store the harvested crop in the lower compartment of the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp cloth (tubers quickly lose moisture). The duration of such storage does not exceed two weeks.

What dishes can be prepared from Jerusalem artichoke

The range of culinary delights is very wide. Ground pear is consumed fried, boiled, baked, raw, and made into juice, coffee, kvass, puree, and cold snacks. You can even make desserts: jelly, jam, marmalade. It is recommended to consume 50-70 g of tubers per day. It can be in any form, but raw vegetables are considered the healthiest for diabetics.

Sandwiches "Toluca"

Raw Jerusalem artichoke (2-3 large tubers) and onions (1 piece) are finely chopped and mixed. The loaf is cut into sandwich pieces, spread with butter (4 g) and the vegetable mixture is spread on them. You can add salt on top for taste. Allow the tolukas to soak for 10-15 minutes and serve. The specified amount of products makes six sandwiches.

Sandwich paste

This is another way to quickly and deliciously prepare a snack dish of Jerusalem artichoke for diabetics. One head of garlic is crushed, finely grated earthen pear and cheese (100 g each) are added. Fish (100 g) is chopped with parsley and dill (20 g). Mix all ingredients, add sour cream or mayonnaise (5 tablespoons), salt and pepper to taste.

Spring salad

This is a recipe for one of the simplest Jerusalem artichoke dishes. Raw vegetable (200 g) is cut into thin strips or grated on a coarse grater. Sorrel leaves (200 g) are doused with salted boiling water and cut. One clove of garlic is crushed and added to the total mass.

For the dressing, mix ½ cup of boiled water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar (6% or 9%), 3 tablespoons of unrefined vegetable oil, sugar and salt (½ teaspoon each). Whip the prepared liquid and, without settling, pour it over the vegetable salad.

Combined salad

It is made from equal quantities of raw Jerusalem artichoke, carrots, fresh cabbage, celery and herbs. Add three times less raw beets. All components are grated on a coarse grater and seasoned with olive or sunflower oil. This dish helps with diabetes and controls blood sugar and improves bile secretion. After all, there are not only beneficial herbs for the liver, but also vegetables. And this dish has them.

Young nettle leaves (200 g) are blanched for about 3 minutes in hot salted water and chopped. Add the same amount of chopped sorrel to the nettle. Jerusalem artichoke (200 g) cut into strips. All prepared ingredients are placed in a pan, poured with boiling water, salted and cooked until tender. At this time, onions (100 g) are cut into half rings and sautéed in vegetable oil.

Casserole

Jerusalem artichoke (500 g), cut into thin slices, and carrots (100 g), grated on a coarse grater, are fried in a small amount of oil. Then add green peas (100 g) and add salt to taste. Pour the vegetables over the omelette mixture prepared from 3 beaten eggs and 6 tablespoons of milk. Place the future casserole in a greased form and bake in the oven at 180°C for about half an hour.

Diet puree

Its preparation differs little from the recipe for classic mashed potatoes, which is not recommended for frequent consumption by diabetics. You can eat pear puree without fear for your well-being. Tubers (500 g) are boiled in salted water for about 20 minutes. The water is drained and the vegetables are mashed into a puree. Add milk (2 tablespoons) and butter (10 g). Sprinkle with herbs and spices on top.

This intricate name has a fairly simple and tasty dish made from assorted vegetables. You need to take 200 g of different vegetables: Jerusalem artichoke, cauliflower, celery, green beans, artichoke, asparagus, potatoes, zucchini. If a component is not available, you can replace it with any other to your liking.

The recipe includes 800 g of tubers, 200 g of carrots, 100 g of flour, 2 eggs, 150 ml of vegetable oil, salt. Root vegetables are grated on a fine grater, salted, eggs and flour are added. Place the kneaded dough with a spoon onto a frying pan heated with oil and fry on both sides. Pancakes will be even more delicious if you eat them with sour cream.

First you need to cook the syrup from 2 glasses of water and 200 g of sugar. As a last resort, it is recommended to take not the usual one, but the one sold in the departments for diabetics. Juice squeezed from half a lemon and a whole orange is added to the finished syrup.

Jerusalem artichoke is cut into small pieces and boiled in syrup for 5-10 minutes over low heat. If the pieces can be easily pierced with a toothpick, then they are ready. If they are too hard, you need to cook them for a few more minutes. The finished root tubers are taken out with a slotted spoon, and the second portion is boiled in syrup. When all the candied fruits are ready, they should be placed on a baking sheet and dried for two hours in the oven at low temperature (about 50°C). Sugar is ground into powder in a coffee grinder and sprinkled over dried and cooled candied fruits.

Jerusalem artichoke coffee

There are many drinks (beet kvass, chicory, birch sap, etc.) that are useful for diabetics. This recipe is also worth adopting for those who love an unusual taste. Coffee is made from dried tubers. To do this, you don’t have to peel them, but rinse them well and immediately cut them into thin slices.

Then the slices are dried in a low-heat oven or in the open air. It is very useful to make such a preparation for the winter - in this case, you can prepare home remedies for diabetes all year round. The dried chips are crushed in a coffee grinder and prepared from coffee powder in the usual way - in a Turk or coffee maker.

The leaves and inflorescences of this plant are also used to prepare drinks. To make aromatic tea, you need to twist fresh Jerusalem artichoke leaves and mash them with a rolling pin or just with your hands. This starts the fermentation process. In addition to leaves, you can also add inflorescences to the tea leaves. This tea is brewed in the traditional way - by steeping for 15-20 minutes.

If you don’t have Jerusalem artichoke stored for future use in your home bins and you don’t know what to make a medicinal drink from, don’t despair. There are ready-made products, for example, Jerusalem artichoke syrup, which you can always have on hand in the kitchen and add to any dishes instead of regular sugar.

There is another tasty product - Fobrinol drink. It comes in powder form and is very convenient to use. But the main thing is that it contains inulin, B vitamins, amino acids, and a probiotic, which is so necessary for every diabetic. The product does not need to be taken as a medicine - in terms of time and regimen, it is enough to drink it like tea. The result is glucose control and good health.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the above recipes for preparing dishes from Jerusalem artichoke are suitable not only for diabetics, but also for everyone who adheres to proper nutrition and monitors their own health. After all, this valuable vegetable is useful not only for diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2, but also for many other diseases.
