Nutritional values

Artichokes are considered erotically stimulating. Whether this is true, everyone must try it for themselves. One thing is certain: they have a draining effect and their bitter substance cynarin helps to lower cholesterol levels. It also promotes the undisturbed liver and bile function.

Would you like to save fat? Cream soup tastes almost as good with half of the olive oil, and instead of whipped cream, a cream made from vegetable fats and milk (with only 15% fat; in the refrigerator) also does the job.
