Artichokes may look a little strange and even somewhat intimidating at first. But once you know how to handle them, they’re a very healthy addition to your PCOS diet for better management of your symptoms.
Â
A medium-sized artichoke contains a low 14 gms of carbs for a great return of 10 gms of fiber and 4 gms of protein. Like avocados, artichokes are bursting with nutrients, including an impressive amount of antioxidants and an excellent dose of vitamin C, as well as folate, potassium and magnesium.
Â
Tip: snip off the stem and a half-inch off the top and steam the rest for 30 minutes or microwave in a couple inches of water for 7 to 10 minutes. The base of each leaf is tasty when you scrape it with your teeth and the heart at the base of the artichoke is a real delicacy after the hairy part is removed.
