- High in Fiber: One medium artichoke provides about 7 grams of fiber, supporting healthy digestion and blood sugar control.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Artichokes rank among the most antioxidant-rich vegetables, containing compounds like cynarin and silymarin, which support liver health and help fight oxidative stress.
- Supports Heart Health: They help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and may aid in regulating blood pressure thanks to their potassium and magnesium content.
- Low in Calories: Artichokes are filling but low in calories, making them excellent for weight management.
- Blood Sugar Friendly: The fiber and prebiotic content help maintain steady glucose levels, which is great for people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
