4. Artichokes
I couldn’t say that artichokes are among my favorite veggies, but they actually have a long history of treating certain illnesses, including some liver conditions like jaundice. Apart from being abundant in antioxidants, artichokes are also great sources of minerals and dietary fiber.
In fact, based on a FRAP analysis, 100 grams of artichokes have up to 4.7 mmol of antioxidants. The main antioxidants found in artichokes are called chlorogenic acids, and studies point out that they may be able to minimize the risk of developing some types of cancers.
The same type of antioxidants is also known to decrease the risk of developing heart disease. The best part? Artichokes are pretty versatile, so no matter how you choose to consume them, please add them more into your diet.
