Health Benefits

Since ancient times, artichoke has been used due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. It was previously used to treat liver conditions and is now popular for its nutritional benefits. Artichokes are packed with powerful ingredients such as folate, vitamin C, and vitamin K. They are known to be prebiotic, supporting colon health and regulating blood pressure. 

Also nutritionally dense and loaded with antioxidants is spinach. After all, it’s called a superfood for good reason. As one of the best sources of vitamin A and C, spinach is popular for its health-boosting properties.
