"Topinamburg" is the first studio of diabetic nutrition in Yekaterinburg. On their website, there is an online health food store, a nutrition library, a collection of step-by-step recipes and cooking courses for diabetics.

Alexey Krokhalev, the chéf and the head of "Topinamburg" studio:

It all started with the delivery of diabetic lunches for a narrow circle of customers. They were mostly business people who always had to choose between "healthy" and "tasty" foods. Finally some of them caused real damage to their health, others used to deny themselves all sorts of things... When I came, they were saying: at least, life goes on!

Thanks to our new website, a wide range of people now have access to their "sweet life". All the foods look very attractive on the website, the navigation is easy, everything is just simple without any unnecessary stuff. And the most important thing: now we can bring together and share our experience: unique recipes, cooking courses, articles, dietician and endocrinological consultations. Nothing like this was ever done in our city before. 

Maria Bystrova: behind the name

Topinambur (Jerusalem artichoke) is a unique product for diabetics. It contains a natural prebiotic inulin which actually lowers your blood sugar and stabilizes blood pressure. However, it's still almost impossible to find this natural wholesome product in our city. Topinambur is hard to store, it requires lots of attention and care. But now there is someone who really cares of diabetics — it's Topinamburg studio.
