I love artichoke hearts and a great add on to salads. My aunt has told me artichokes are super healthy for you so I looked into what benefits they offer. Here is what I found out:
– full of fiber
– good source of protein
– contains vitamins and minerals including magnesium, chromium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium
– great source of vitamin A
– may lower cholesterol
– may help lower blood fat levels
