Artichokes
perfect source of fiber for your healthy gut

+ 5 delicious recipes

Artichokes are quite an underrated vegetable and actually they are a thistle, which is a herb that helps detoxify the liver and strengthens our pancreas.
Especially from a holistic point of view, it is one of the foods that should definitely be on your shopping list because of its diverse properties, if it is also about strengthening your intestinal flora and thus also a beautiful, healthy skin and your general well-being.
A healthy gut also means reducing inflammation in your body and keeping it younger longer.

Artichokes - Rich in prebiotics

Whether you’re snipping them into your salad, making a delicious creamy dip with them, or simply roasting them as a side dish, artichokes are a straightforward way to add a great and exciting flavor component to your dishes, with the benefit of doing something for your gut health at the same time as a healthy source of fiber.

Artichokes are known in holistic nutrition for their impressive content of prebiotics. These are certain carbohydrates that „feed“ probiotics and contribute to the balance of intestinal flora.

While probiotics get a lot of attention, prebiotics are often not very popular. However, they are just as important (if not more so!) as they feed the probiotics so they can function and benefit the gut. Therefore, it is best to have a variety of foods on the menu that are equally rich in prebiotics and probiotics to aid digestion in a holistic way.

Artichokes, the underestimated queen of vegetables

A recent study showed that the production of short-chain fatty acids in the intestine increases after eating artichokes. These fatty acids help support the gut by providing proper energy to the intestinal cells.

At the same time, they also help metabolize important nutrients such as carbohydrates and other fats. Artichokes are a healthy source of fiber in two ways. It is rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, which is important for healthy digestion and thus counteracts flatulence and stomach cramps.

Eating plenty of fiber has been linked to lower blood cholesterol and better heart health. But it’s not just the fiber and prebiotics that make them so special, half a cup of artichokes also contains 240 mg of potassium, an important mineral and electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, muscle contractions and blood pressure.And to top it off, artichokes are a good source of magnesium, which in turn is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory minerals.

So much for the glorification of the artichoke. If you are now wondering how to incorporate the special and somewhat spiky vegetable into serve menu, we have a few recipe ideas for you here.
