Jerusalem artichoke coffee 100 g – Teavit

What it is

TEAVIT Maapirni kohv 100 g is a roasted Jerusalem artichoke drink — a caffeine-free coffee substitute made from topinambur tubers. People usually choose this kind of beverage when they want the roasted taste and warm cup ritual of coffee without caffeine. The flavour is mild, slightly earthy and gently toasted rather than intense or bitter, so it can suit both those stepping back from regular coffee and those who prefer a softer drink in the evening.

What makes Jerusalem artichoke interesting

A notable feature of Jerusalem artichoke is its natural content of inulin. This is a soluble fibre, specifically a fructan, that differs from the starch found in many root vegetables. Inulin is not digested in the same way as ordinary carbohydrates; instead, it passes further into the gut, where it serves as food for beneficial bacteria. That is why Jerusalem artichoke is often valued in nutrition as a prebiotic ingredient. The tuber also naturally contains minerals such as:

• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Calcium
• Iron
• Phosphorus
• Silicon

Gentle roasting helps keep the ingredient recognisable and brings out its coffee-like aroma.

This product is made from roasted Helianthus tuberosus tubers only, without extra additives, which keeps the profile straightforward. Jerusalem artichoke, also known as earth pear or topinambur, has a long history as an edible plant in Europe and beyond.

When people choose it

In drink form, it offers an alternative for people who want to:

• Vary their hot beverages
• Avoid caffeine late in the day
• Choose a roasted herbal-style cup during work, travel or quieter evening moments

Good to know

Because Jerusalem artichoke is rich in inulin, people who are not used to fibre-rich foods may prefer to start with a modest amount and see how they feel. If you have a very sensitive digestion, or if fibre-rich prebiotic foods do not suit you, introduce it gradually.
