Nutritional values

Jerusalem artichoke gives the puree a sweetish taste. The tuber contains hardly any calories and fat, but plenty of fibre. They swell up in the stomach and thus cause a long satiation. In addition, you are supplied with a lot of potassium - essential for normal blood pressure.

Mushrooms should be taken out of the packaging immediately after purchase and best stored in air-permeable containers or in an open paper bag in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. Under no circumstances should they be put into water, as they soak it up like sponges - and then taste the same.
