EverydayFresh

Artichoke is the edible flower bud of a thistle plant, prized in Mediterranean cuisine for its tender heart and fleshy leaf bases. This low-calorie vegetable requires steaming or boiling to soften its fibrous structure, revealing a subtly sweet, nutty flavor. Fresh artichokes are particularly rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants like cynarin and silymarin, compounds studied for liver health support. The vegetable's layered leaves and central choke structure make its preparation distinctive compared to other produce.
