Jerusalem Artichoke
The artichoke contains about 2% protein, no oil, and a surprising lack of starch. It is rich in the carbohydrate inulin (76%), which is a polymer of the monosaccharide fructose.

Jerusalem artichokes have an underlying sweet taste because of the fructose, which is about one and a half times as sweet as sucrose.[7] Jerusalem artichokes have also been promoted as a healthy choice for type 2 diabetics because naturally occurring fructose, i.e. intact or found within the whole food, is easily tolerated by people - including type 2 diabetics - assuming a diet of normal, i.e. low, non-toxic sugar intake. It has also been reported as a folk remedy for diabetes
