Thursday March 16thNational Artichoke Hearts Day on March 16th is a fun way to add a touch of flavor to any dish.
Artichokes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, and magnesium, according to the California Artichoke Advisory Board. Artichokes have anti-inflammatory enzymes that are both very good for your liver and help with healthy skin. Artichokes are also high in fiber, calcium, and protein, but low in calories. Artichokes are a healthy and delectable dish to celebrate due to these reasons, as well as being fat-free and cholesterol-free.
