Fresh topinambur, also known as Jerusalem artichoke, is a nutritious root vegetable with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Proper storage is key to preserving its delicate texture and earthy taste for culinary adventures.

Storage Time

Up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, 6-8 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store in the refrigerator at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

To freeze fresh topinambur, wash and peel the tubers, then cut them into desired pieces. Blanching them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before freezing helps retain their quality and color. Cool them completely in ice water, drain well, and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid. Once frozen, transfer them to airtight freezer bags or containers. Thaw frozen topinambur in the refrigerator overnight or use directly in cooked dishes. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making them softer after thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

Soft or mushy texture, indicating loss of firmness.
Development of dark spots or mold on the skin.
