Nutritionally, artichokes compete with broccoli and potatoes

Attention all diet and health conscious consumers: artichokes are extraordinarily rich in fiber, low in fat and a source of protein to say the least. In fact, The National Research Council of Italy ('Il Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche') rates the artichoke as second only to the potato in nutritive importance.

Consider this - a medium sized artichoke (about 12 ounces) has only 25-35 calories, zero fat, 6 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of protein (most of the essential amino acids). Yet it is very high in fiber, with the following vitamin and mineral content:
