Jerusalem artichokes should be stored in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cellar, for short-term storage. For longer shelf life, keep them in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag or wrapped in a damp paper towel to maintain moisture. Avoid washing them until ready to use, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. If freezing, blanch them first to preserve texture and flavor before storing in airtight containers.
