The power of the artichoke

Did you know that artichokes have more antioxidants than any other vegetable?

Packed with healthy benefits

They taste pretty good too.

But if you can’t get your hands on any fresh artichoke there are other ways to enjoy them.

Artichokes have been linked to the treatment of dangerous diseases and rank seventh out of foods with the highest antioxidant content in a recent study. They’re also high in fibre, known to reduce choleserol and great for hangovers!

So, if you’d like a little more artichoke in your life you could try Biotta’s Organic Artichoke Plus, a juice made with artichokes and other vegetables.

Biotta make a great range of juices such as the Powerberry Juice and the curiously named Breuss Juice (developed by the Swiss for fighting disease). All their drinks are 100% premium juices, with no preservatives, no dilution and nothing artificial.  They are naturally rich with vitamins and minerals – so they can work with your body to promote health.

Artichoke – love it or hate it?

Artichokes – the easy way

There’s a difference of opinion about artichokes in our office.

Some people love them, even ‘in preference to asparagus tips.’

Some cannot stand them and find them too rough and unpalatable.

Perhaps it depends on how they are prepared? I am definitely of the former opinion.

Take Organico’s Artichoke Hearts for example, marinated in herbs, the vegetable comes softened and ready to eat. It’s no hassle, and this rather noble vegetable can be served with salads, as a pizza topping, as a condiment or just by itself.

That’s what Organico specialise in: bringing quality organic foods to everyone.
