What is globe artichoke good for?
Widely used in traditional medicine as a remedy for water retention and liver ailments, globe artichokes are thought to aid digestion and help people who experience stomach acidity. Globe artichokes also contain a lot of soluble fibre, so they won't destabilise blood sugar levels.
Do you cut back globe artichoke?
Cut back stems in autumn and protect the crown over winter with a thick mulch of bark chippings, straw or other material. In early spring add a mulch of well-rotted manure to help boost growth.
How do you keep Jerusalem artichokes from spreading?
Cover your soil with an inch or so of organic mulch for easier harvesting and root protection. Plant in a dedicated bed that can be mowed around for control, or sink barriers into the soil around the sunchokes at least 24 inches deep to prevent spreading.
Are Jerusalem artichokes bad for you?
They are rich in iron to give you energy, along with potassium and vitamin B1, which support your muscles and nerves. Although they're sweet, their starchy fibre stops any spikes in blood sugar levels – indeed they have a lower glycemic index (GI) score than potatoes – and they aren't fattening.
How do you make Jerusalem artichokes less gassy?
Modern science concurs: “Boiling Jerusalem artichokes in an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar will hydrolyze the inulin to fructose and small amounts of glucose,” Rastall advises. So I gave it a try, boiling quarter-inch-thick sunchoke slices for 15 minutes in just enough lemon juice to cover them.
How do you know when to harvest Jerusalem artichokes?
Jerusalem artichokes are generally ready for harvest when the leaves die down. If you have the patience you might want to wait for the first frost as tubers harvested after they got hit by the first frost taste sweeter. In my experience the best harvest season is end of september until march.
