In brief cooked artichoke has: folate (89.00 mcg | 22% DV) vitamin K (14.80 mcg | 12% DV) magnesium (42.00 mg | 10% DV) manganese (0.23 mg |10% DV) Artichokes (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) are the edible flower buds from artichoke plants. An artichoke is also known as French artichoke or globe artichoke. Artichokes are not only eaten as vegetables, but they are also used as a topping for pizzas and salads.

Diets rich in dietary fiber may protect against heart disease and support healthy bowel movement. Besides its dietary fiber content, cooked artichokes are rich in folate (22% DV), an essential nutrient. Folate is also called vitamin B9, as well as folacin. Folate is critical for amino acid metabolism and reducing the risk of brain and spinal birth defects during pregnancy. The amount of vitamin K in cooked artichokes (12% DV) is beneficial for wound healing and bone health. Many essential minerals in cooked artichokes such as magnesium (10% DV) and manganese (10% DV) keep your bones and muscles working properly. Uncooked artichokes are usually bitter. Cooking artichokes produces a more blended flavor and texture like boiled potatoes. A dish that contains large amounts of cooked artichoke is artichoke spinach lasagna.
