4 BIGGEST WAYS THAT ARTICHOKES CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT YOUR HEALTH
-
FIBER
One medium artichoke has a whopping 6 grams of dietary fiber – that’s a quarter of the recommended daily amount – and more fiber than in one whole cup of prunes! Yet an artichoke has only 60 calories.
-
PROTEIN
Artichokes contain 4 grams of protein – a significant amount for a vegetable.
-
PREBIOTICS
Artichokes contain a unique form of fiber known as inulin. Inulin is one of the most available and the more promising prebiotics in the food supply; it’s also the preferred form of prebiotic used in animal and human research studies.
-
ANTIOXIDANTS
Artichokes rank number one over all vegetables in term of antioxidant count, according to research conducted by the US Department of Agriculture.
