Q: Are there more antioxidants in the petals of an artichoke vs. the heart?
A:
One enjoys an artichoke one petal at a time. Generally, the base of the petal contains the "meat" or part of the artichoke heart. This portion of the petal is edible and quite tasty. Additionally, it contains the same amount of antioxidants as does the core of the artichoke, the heart.
