Product Features
What is Kikuimo?
Kikuimo (Jerusalem Artichoke) is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae (Chrysanthemum) family, Sunflower genus with yellow flowers and a knotted root similar to ginger.
Known as the “plant that carries the blessings of the sun and the earth,” Kikuimo grows in the abundant light of the summer sun and draws nutrients from the soil.
In place of the starch contained in the potato and related plants, it contains abundant quantities of a water-soluble dietary fiber called inulin.
Among the currently known species worldwide, it is the plant with the highest inulin content.
Inulin – the major component of Kikuimo
- Dietary fiber of high rarity value
- Compared to other dietary fibers, inulin is very rare and of high value.
- Prebiotic
- Inulin is a prebiotic that becomes nutrient only for specific useful bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the gut.
- Improved mineral absorption
- Inulin is said to promote the absorption of minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
- Low calories
- Inulin contains only about 1/3 to 1/4 the calories of sugar or other carbohydrates, and about 1/6 to 1/9 of energy compared to fat.
