ROASTED SUNCHOKES with ESCAROLE and BEANS

January 2, 2013 By Liz Pilotto

Benefits of Sunchokes, Escarole, and Beans

  • Sunchokes (Jerusalem artichoke) is a root veggie high in iron. The carbohydrates are stored as inulin. The body breaks it down slowly so blood sugar stays more stable.
  • Escarole is a green leafy vegetable high in vitamins A and K. These vitamins support the health of the immune and neurological systems. They have  high carotenoid compounds which act as antioxidants. They are high in iron, calcium, and potassium.
  • Great Northern Beans contain omega-3 fatty acids which may be helpful in preventing cardiovascular disease, immune system disorders, (including diabetes), and some cancers. These beans are low in calories, sugar, and fat. They offer high protein and fiber. Great Northerns are low glycemic and the complex carbohydrates digest slowly. This can be helpful in controlling hunger helping  with weight gain and is a good food choice for dieters.
