Calories in Artichokes
One large Artichoke contains about 76 calories.
Take note that calories in artichokes can greatly vary. The fresher the specimen, the fewer the calories.
Although available year-round in many areas, the best season for purchasing is in Spring, generally April and May when artichokes are at their peak and their freshest.
The preparation method is generally boiling or steaming but they may also be pickled, stuffed or pureed.
Pickled hearts of the artichoke are quite delicious and may be served as an appetizer when marinated in a low calorie vinegar and oil salad dressing, or simply tossed into a chef salad. They also marry well with boiled eggs.
Dietary Fiber content is significant at 8.7 grams for a large specimen. Protein is also notable at 5.30 grams. A large artichoke contains 19 mg of Vitamin A, 71 mg of calcium, 599 mg of potassium and 17 total carb grams.
