View the Jerusalem Artichokes page

For all of you who may be concernded about undesirable side effects from eating Jerusalem artichokes: Try sprinkling a pinch or two of Asa Foetida powder into the appropriate cooking utensil just before completing the cooking. The Indian vegetarians have used Asa Foetida for centuries, to combat and eliminate flatulence caused by bean and other vegetarian dishes. It could work with the Artichokes too.
