This week is all about Artichokes since they are abundant in the Pacific Northwest and absolutely gorgeous.
Artichoke is a tasteful veggie that contains a phytonutrient called cynarin, which stimulates the production of bile and hence, improves digestion. Often called a superfood, artichoke is loaded with antioxidants including liver-supportive silymarin, packed with vitamin C, and rich in fiber to keep the body regular.
Many people might not be aware of this fact but they are great for liver support and are even proven to regenerate the tissue.
Artichokes are a good source of fiber and are quite nutritious with vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, magnesium, potassium and manganese packed in.
