Their healthy monounsaturated fats also support gut barrier function, reducing inflammation and preventing digestive discomfort. How to Eat It: Blend into smoothies, mash onto toast, or toss into salads for a fiber and fat boost.

Often called sunchokes, Jerusalem artichokes are one of the richest sources of inulin, a powerful prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria. Eating these regularly can improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and reduce bloating. How to Eat It: Roast them like potatoes, add to soups, or slice them raw into salads.
