Questions
Are artichokes high in fiber?
It is a source of fiber: at 5.7 g per 100 g it passes the EU threshold of 3 g but not the “high in fiber” threshold of 6 g. A typical portion, 1 medium artichoke (120 g), adds 6.8 g, or 23% of the 30 g reference.
Is artichoke a good prebiotic?
It is one of the foods the Journal lists as an inulin source. Standard fiber tables, like the 5.7 g here, report total fiber and do not show how much of it is inulin.
Do artichokes count as a plant?
Yes. They add one plant to your week, however often you eat them. The goal of 30 a week counts each different plant once.
