Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchokes, pack a hefty dose of health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any diet. They are rich in dietary fiber, contributing significantly to maintaining a healthy digestive system and helping regulate blood sugar levels. Furthermore, Jerusalem artichokes contain a substantial amount of protein and essential minerals such as potassium, iron, and copper. They provide crucial vitamins including vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and some vitamin A, strengthening the immune system and supporting overall well-being. As a bonus, these tubers are low in calories, making them an attractive option for weight management and general health-consciousness.
Moreover, Jerusalem artichokes contain substantial amounts of the prebiotic inulin, which promotes the growth and proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria, further aiding digestion. For those concerned about cardiovascular health, these tubers have been associated with cholesterol-lowering effects and might bring down blood pressure levels, thanks to the presence of significant amounts of oleic and linoleic acids. With their varied potential health benefits, Jerusalem artichokes offer a scrumptious and nourishing choice to enrich daily meals.
Why Choose Small Scale Farms?
Local Food Hub
We are a food hub, buying in bulk from local farmers as much as we possibly can, and also growing our own food, with permaculture principles.
Social Enterprise
Profit is a good thing. It's what you do with it that matters. For every subscription produce bag we sell, we give $10 of produce away.
Discounted Food
We offer healthy food on a pay what you can basis, to those who need it. We also work very hard to keep food from being thrown out.
Distribution
Grocery stores have a monopoly on local food. Creating effective distribution channels between buyers and sellers helps us fight this.
