Artichokes

Grilled artichokes are more than simply a snack; they now rank among the vegetables high in protein. Though they are abundant in fiber, artichokes are also a low-calorie and low-carb vegetable. Artichokes are a low-calorie source of protein that can be consumed if your fitness goal is weight loss.

According to the USDA, there are the following amounts of protein in cooked artichokes:

• 4.8 grams per 1 cup
• 2.9 grams per 100 grams
• 11.3 grams per 200-calorie serving
• 3.5 grams per 1 medium artichoke

Artichoke preparation and cooking are not as difficult as they seem. They may be sautéed, grilled, steamed, boiled, or roasted. In order to give them an extra flavor boost, you may also prepare them grilled or stuffed. The most common cooking method, steaming, often takes 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size. Artichokes can also be baked for 40 minutes at 350°F (177°C). Remember that you can eat the leaves and the heart.
