Stuffed Artichokes
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Artichokes owe their unmistakable, tangy aroma to the bitter substance cynarin. Cynarin helps to lower cholesterol levels, supports the liver in its detoxification work, and activates the flow of bile, while other artichoke elements are beneficial for the eyes.
Serve as an appetizer or as a light meal over a bed of lettuce with dressing such as arugala or spinach.
