Artichokes are a versatile ingredient and have many health benefits. They are associated with bolstering the immune system, lowering cholesterol, and protecting against diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. Artichokes have also long been regarded as detoxifying for the body: improving the health of the liver, and aiding in many digestive issues.
