"But there's one vegetable that's a sleeper fiber giant, lurking under the radar: the artichoke. This spiky, layered veggie actually delivers a serious boost of fiber, surpassing several fruits and vegetables we usually associate with digestive health. A cup of cooked artichoke packs around 10 grams of fiber, which is roughly ¼ of the daily recommended intake for adult men and ⅓ for adult women."
"Fiber plays a big role in keeping digestion regular, but it also helps regulate blood sugar levels, supports heart health, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. That makes artichokes a great choice for anyone looking to manage their appetite in a natural, satisfying way, or for folks who are sick of the same key fiber players. Plus, because the vegetable is hearty and versatile, it can be prepared in many different ways."
"Fiber may be artichokes' standout feature, but it's hardly their only selling point. These vegetables are also packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that give them a wider health halo. Another benefit is that artichokes are naturally low in calories but high in volume. With just 60 calories per serving, artichokes are one of those foods that feel indulgent without adding much to your daily calorie count."
Artichokes are exceptionally high in fiber; one cup cooked provides about 10 grams, meeting a significant portion of daily recommended intake. Dietary fiber in artichokes supports regular digestion, helps regulate blood sugar, supports heart health, and increases satiety to aid appetite management. Artichokes are versatile for grilling, steaming, roasting, or blending into dips, enabling easy inclusion in meals. They contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and prebiotics that support gut health. Artichokes are low in calories (about 60 per serving) yet high in volume. A 2018 study suggests regular consumption may help lower LDL cholesterol.
