Globe artichokes are antioxidant-rich (A, C, E), K, and B. They also contain an active chemical compound in them called Cynarin.

This stimulates bile flow, which helps digestion and improves liver and gall bladder functioning.

They are an excellent source of fiber, can aid detoxification, and can alleviate stomach upsets while supporting good bowel function.

Artichokes encourage the growth of good bifidobacteria in the gut through inulin, a fiber that acts as a prebiotic, which also helps balance blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol.

Olive oil further supports the bile duct, liver, and gall bladder.

Supporting your liver is important for it to carry out its 500+ essential functions (which you will be doing if you follow this lifestyle on a predominantly 80/20 ratio!), and a healthy liver will rid toxins from your body more efficiently.

Enjoy the wonderful nutty taste of these artichokes with this tangy manganese-rich (needed for numerous enzyme functions) dressing.
