About Artichokes, (globe or french), raw
The globe artichoke is one of the more theatrical things to eat — actually the unopened flower bud of a thistle, eaten leaf by leaf by scraping the tender base with your teeth before reaching the prized heart at the center. Steamed with a dip or braised, it's as much a ritual as a vegetable.
It's genuinely high in fiber, more than most vegetables, and a strong source of folate, vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium and antioxidants — artichokes consistently rank among the highest-antioxidant vegetables. They also contain compounds traditionally associated with supporting digestion and the liver.
A little work to eat and a little awkward to prep, the artichoke rewards the effort with a nutty, delicate heart and an unusually nutritious, fiber-rich payoff.
