Artichokes and the Dietary Guidelines
 
The USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in April 2005. They outline the federal government’s best science-based advice to help us lead healthier and longer lives.

Recommendation What Artichokes Offer
Adults should increase the amount of vegetables they’re eating — aim for at least two and a half cups each day.* Artichokes are delicious when prepared by themselves, but they’re also a great partner for other healthy ingredients (e.g., with tomatoes in pasta).
Choose fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole grains often. One medium Artichoke is an excellent source of dietary fiber (10.3 grams!). It’s also an excellent source of vitamin C, and a good source of folate and magnesium.
Eat more plant-based protein in place of animal-based protein as a way to help reduce saturated fat and cholesterol intake. Artichokes have no fat, cholesterol or trans fat.
*Based on a reference 2,000 calorie diet
