What it is

Jerusalem artichoke powder is made from the dried, ground tubers of the Jerusalem artichoke plant (Helianthus tuberosus), also known as sunchoke. The tubers are a root vegetable and are a source of inulin, a type of dietary fiber. The powder is created by drying and milling the tubers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Jerusalem artichoke powder as a source of dietary fiber and as a natural sweetener. It can add a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a subtle texture to foods. It is often found in health-focused snacks, bars, and baked goods.

Health notes

Jerusalem artichoke powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that may support gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria. While generally well-tolerated, high intake of inulin can cause digestive discomfort like gas and bloating in some individuals. JECFA has evaluated it and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
