All about salsify > Health and nutrition
High in fiber, but low in calories, salsify is a "bowel sweeper," but one that sweeps without upset, giving it an excellent reputation since it is easily tolerated by eveyone. In particular, its high potassium and low sodium content give it natural diuretic properties. It's rich in vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties.
Like the artichoke, salsify contains inuline, an ersatz starch that allows it to be eaten by diabetics.
