Do you like artichokes? It’s usually a hit or miss but artichokes are actually a powerful food and should be considered more often.
Definitely an underrated Superfood but I get it, can be intimidating to cook but I promise you its pretty simple, but before I show you lets chat nutrition benefits.
One medium artichoke contains 7g fiber and 4g plant protein plus full of nutrients including Vitamin C, A, iron, potassium and antioxidants. They are a great source of a prebiotic containing inulin meaning they feed the good bacteria in our gut aka digestion system.
With that being said I hope you find yourself perusing the produce aisle searching for these now that you know the health benefits. And you’re in luck, their peak season is March through June.
