Benefits of Artichoke

Artichokes are a superfood in every sense of the word. The phytonutrients in artichokes provide potent antioxidant benefits, and a 2006 study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that a serving of artichokes provides greater antioxidant benefits per serving than many other foods traditionally considered to be antioxidant-rich such as dark chocolate, blueberries and red wine.

Anthocyanins, quercetin, rutin, and many other antioxidants contained in fresh artichokes offer a range of health benefits.

One 120 g artichoke provides a whopping 10.3 g of dietary fiber, making them a powerful tool for helping to not just keep you regular but also to improve your digestive health overall.

German doctors have long recommended artichoke leaf extract as a gentle remedy for indigestion and upset stomach.

This may be due to a compound found in artichokes called cynarin which has been shown to increase the production of bile, helping to speed up the movement of food and waste through the intestines and reduce feelings of bloating.

Artichokes provide around 12% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K.
