Q: I was told that artichokes are high in carbs. Is this true? I was told I could not eat them for this reason.
A:
One medium artichoke contains approximately 28 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of fiber. Given the amount of fiber, an artichoke of this size would have roughly one serving of carbohydrates, in terms of the diabetes exchange list.
