The Benefits of Adding Artichokes to Your Diet
Artichokes are not only delicious, but they also offer a range of health benefits.

Additionally, artichokes are a great source of fiber, which can aid in digestion and promote gut health. They are also low in calories and contain essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. Incorporating artichokes into your diet can help boost your immune system, improve heart health, and aid in weight loss.
Preparing the Artichokes
Before we jump into the recipe, it's essential to know how to prepare artichokes for cooking. Start by trimming the stem and about an inch off the top of the artichoke. Then, using kitchen scissors, trim the sharp tips of the outer leaves. Rinse the artichoke under cold water to remove any debris. You can also remove the outer layer of leaves if they are tough. Now, your artichoke is ready to be cooked.
