ARTICHOKE - dried leaves - 50g

 

 

Plant description

The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food.

The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom. This vegetable grows to 1.4–2 m tall

The naturally occurring variant of the artichoke, the cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), which is native to the Mediterranean area, has records of use as a food among the ancient Greeks and Romans. 

Artichokes can also be made into a herbal tea. 

     
 

Properties

 Artichoke contains the bioactive agents apigenin and luteolin.

 The total antioxidant capacity of artichoke flower heads is one of the highest reported for vegetables.

A powerful antioxidant named silymarin found in artichoke has shown to positively influence liver health and boost liver functions by stimulating cell regeneration and scavenging for free radicals. Another cancer-fighting phytochemical found in artichokes is cynarin, a caffeoylquinic acid that is found primarily in the leaves. It promotes the liver’s bile production, which helps break down fatty foods.
