I belong to the gardeners who love the garden and try to grow more flowers and fruits. So I regularly read Newspapers on gardening. Every year in various publications I've seen articles about the Jerusalem artichoke. Put him in the garden as a new culture but in food are not often used.


The Jerusalem artichoke has a drawback: the tubers are sweetish to the taste. They offered to cook and fry, but the taste they are inferior to potatoes. Most often we have added Jerusalem artichokes to the salad. According to scientists, this valuable vitamin and medical product. But we soon forgot about the artichoke, and he grew up with us in the form of a hedge along the fence. Remember the artichoke made life rather unpleasant disease — diabetes (as the saying goes, ”the itch”). With age, I began to feel worse and once the doctors told me that without injections, tablets I can't live. Medication depended on the amount of sugar in the blood that should have been strictly control. That's when I again drew attention to the Jerusalem artichoke. In the literature it is argued that the constant consumption of Jerusalem artichoke has a positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism in people with diabetes. Indeed, my analysis became better, and my health condition also improved. Thanks to the curative properties of artichoke dose of medication has been reduced. This gave me optimism: still a natural product is more useful than chemistry. Once at the doctor he told me that if I had used the artichoke regularly, it's possible that the diabetes I have developed. So I advise everyone: eat the artichoke as a vegetable, so it was not necessary to use as medicine. Now I was looking at the Jerusalem artichoke with love. Began to care for him properly.
