Let's yoke artichoke...😎 The artichoke is actually the bud of a thistle—a flower. The leaves called "bracts" cover a fuzzy center called the "choke", which sits on top of a meaty core, called the "heart". The heart completely edible is amazingly delicious and the leaves as well that you gather and scrape with your teeth to eat the tender parts. 😋 My favorite and easiest way to cook artichokes is to boil them because the cooking water also is excellent for health. Rich in inulin fiber that benefits gut bacteria as a prebiotic, artichoke is a top vegetable source for antioxidants and weightloss. #MyGarden
