520 3 |a Despite its high inulin content, Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) remains an underutilized vegetable for human consumption. Organic field trials of two biotypes adapted to Northern Patagonia, Argentina, were conducted. Since no cultivars are formally registered in the country, two biotypes, “elongated” (E) and “rounded” (R), defined according to tuber morphology, were planted and characterized. Agronomic performance was evaluated through soil analysis and crop yield. Tubers were analyzed for horticultural quality (e.g., respiration rate, inulin, firmness) and microstructure. A nutritional profile was determined, including protein, fat, dietary fiber, sugars, organic acids, minerals, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity. Sensory evaluation (overall liking, free association, and penalty–reward analysis) was performed with 128 consumers, most of them unfamiliar with the tuber. The biotype R exhibited twice the yield and higher consumer preference, whereas E showed a higher respiration rate, a better nutritional profile, a harder texture, and lower overall liking. Initially, 76% of participants expressed willingness to incorporate it into their diet, which increased to 96.6% after they were informed of its health benefits. This multidimensional study, support the revalorization of Jerusalem artichoke and its inclusion in human diets as a fresh vegetable for biotype R or functional ingredient for biotype E.
