Artichoke hearts, the tender inner portion of the globe artichoke plant, are a Mediterranean delicacy celebrated for their mild, nutty flavor and velvety texture. Packed with nutrients, they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Artichoke hearts are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to a balanced diet. They also contain antioxidants, particularly cynarin and silymarin, which support liver health and promote digestion. Commonly used in Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern cuisines, artichoke hearts add depth to salads, pastas, dips, and roasted dishes. However, canned or marinated varieties can be high in sodium, so it's best to rinse them or opt for fresh options when possible. Whether steamed, grilled, or blended, artichoke hearts are as versatile as they are nourishing.
