Artichokes are one of the highest-fiber vegetables and contain cynarin, which supports liver function and bile production. Rich in antioxidants and prebiotics, they rank among the highest ORAC (antioxidant capacity) vegetables available.
Pull off outer leaves, dip the base in butter/sauce, and scrape off the soft flesh with your teeth. Remove the fuzzy choke in the center to reveal the tender heart - the most prized part.
Cynarin in artichokes temporarily blocks sweetness receptors. When you drink water afterward, the receptors become unblocked, making the water taste sweet. This can affect wine pairing.
Store unwashed artichokes in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Sprinkle with water to keep moist. Prepared artichoke hearts can be stored in lemon water in the fridge for 2 days.
