The invention relates to the technical field of processing of new resource food, and in particular relates to a method for preparing inulin by using Jerusalem artichoke or chicory as a raw material. The method for preparing the inulin is high in yield, low in water consumption and low in energy consumption. The method comprises the following steps of : sequentially peeling and dicing the artichoke or the chicory as the raw material, performing continuous countercurrent extraction, adding Ca(OH)2, CO2 and active carbon to carry out one-step impurity removal and decolorization, concentrating with a nano-filtration membrane, desalting the concentrate through a strong cation and weak anion resin exchange column, and thus obtaining the high-purity inulin. According to the method, impurity removal and decolorization are completed in one step, so that material waste caused by a double-carbon method is avoided, the process is simplified, and the production efficiency is improved.
