Grilled artichokes are a flavorful and nutritious dish, often enjoyed in Mediterranean cuisine. Fresh artichokes are trimmed, steamed, then lightly charred on a grill, enhancing their natural earthiness and adding a smoky depth. Packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate, they support digestion, heart health, and overall immunity. Grilled preparation minimizes the need for added fats, making it a healthier option compared to fried versions. Artichokes also contain cynarin, a compound known for promoting liver health. Often served with olive oil, lemon, or light dipping sauces, they can remain a health-conscious choice when paired with nutritious accompaniments. While their sodium content may rise with heavily salted marinades or dips, artichokes themselves are naturally low in calories and fats, making them a delicious and guilt-free addition to a balanced diet.
