Artichoke Hearts
Artichoke hearts might be not the most inviting veggie, but they are filled with phytonutrients and antioxidants which can protect your body against free radicals. Many recent studies even prove that they are associated with reduced cancer risks. Thanks to a high level of fiber, artichoke hearts won’t increase your blood sugar, making them a good option for those with diabetes. Another reason why they are a perfect choice for vegetarians is that this type of veggie contains a lot of healthy vitamin B12 and iron. You can choose to eat the whole pieces with lemon or serve as a side or appetizer.
There are around 19 grams of carbs in a cup of boiled artichoke hearts. [6]
