Explained
Artichokes have been found to have one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all vegetables, with a total antioxidant capacity of 4.7 milles per 100 gram serving. This high antioxidant capacity can help protect against cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The antioxidant capacity of artichokes is due to the presence of various polyphenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid, which has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
