I'm growing sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) -- thinking they're primal? page

[Chatty]

Sis gave me some roots and the more I read about them, the more curious I become

Tiny Urban Kitchen: Sunchoke Chips (Jerusalem Artichoke)

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Butter
A few Shallots
Jerusalem Artichokes
Broth
Heavy Cream
Salt & Pepper

Sautee the shallots, in butter until soft.
Add peeled and chopped Jerusalem artichokes,
add broth and cream and cook until soft.
Blend until smooth, and taste with salt and pepper.

Yep.... primal.

Artichokes are a good source of probiotics, so they're great for gut health.

Yeah, this... you may not want to eat huge portions of them to start with, no matter how tasty you find them. They can be known to cause some intestinal distress (gas and quick-step) in people not used to them.
Great for gut health, but may take some adjustment while your intestinal flora adjusts.
Maybe it won't be as much of an issue for someone without "SAD" gut.

So pleased to see that they are primal. I picked up a bag today at our farmers market assuming they were primal. They've been added to the pot roast for dinner tonight.

That's sorta scary -- about test your body's reaction to them by eating only a few.
If anyone has a severe "reaction" -- I'd like to know.

Yep. Definitely cause "intestinal distress " for me

LOVE them! They're delicious roasted, make stunning soup, lovely lightly steamed and added to a creamy sauce with dill (or with cheese and no dill), excellent added to potato to mash; so many ways to use them. They do tend to cause flatulence! But if you keep eating them, that seems to stop. Don't know why....

[Rattybag]

Oh boy they really "blow me away!" literally!! lol

so deliciously primal.
