From the introduction: “ITFs mostly occur in plant roots, such as Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, or salsify, where they act as a storage and stress-preservative polymer” More details: “..subjects were instructed to consume a hot meal for lunch and a soup for dinner, prepared with ITF-rich vegetables to ensure an uptake of at least 9 g of fructans per day (mean intake of 15 g/d)“

The entire dietary schedule is at the end of the paper... but: 'ITFs mostly occur in plant roots, such as Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, or salsify' I also saw garlic, celery, and scallions in there, but artichokes are definitely an odd one (not a root), while the apparently similar asparagus is missing.

  Jerusalem artichokes are indeed a root, or a tuber to be precise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke They're not closely related to globe artichokes, which is perhaps what you were thinking of. Jerusalem artichokes are a kind of sunflower, and globe artichokes are a kind of thistle.

"chicory root contains the highest concentration of inulin ... Vegetables such as sugar beets, leeks and asparagus all contain adequate concentrations of inulin. Onions and garlic are also home to a healthy supply of inulin, as are dandelion root, elecampane root and a variety of herbs. Bananas and wheat contain inulin, too." from https://www.prebiotin.com/foods-provide-inulin/ https://www.prebiotin.com/foods-provide-inulin/

  If you have digestive problems, some of these are good and some can be very bad (e.g. asparagus if you have any restrictions).
