Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Artichoke

The raw edible portion of globe artichoke provides 47 calories and 5.4 g fibre per 100 g. The weight of a whole artichoke bought at the market is not the weight eaten. Tough outer leaves, the choke and other discarded parts do not belong in the edible-portion calculation.

Calories in a medium artichoke

USDA's medium measure is 128 g of edible material: about 60 calories, 13.45 g carbohydrate and 6.91 g fibre. It does not mean that every trimmed artichoke weighs 128 g. A weighed 150 g raw edible portion supplies about 71 calories and 8.1 g fibre.

Raw artichoke versus an artichoke dish

Cooking changes water content, so 100 g cooked is not the same measurement as 100 g raw. Oil in a dressed dish, stuffing in a filled artichoke and the other ingredients in a soup all need to be included. Entering the weight of a finished dish into this raw-vegetable panel will not calculate the whole meal.

Hearts and Jerusalem artichokes

A trimmed base or heart is a specific part of the globe artichoke. For canned hearts, draining and any oil-based marinade also matter. Jerusalem artichoke is a different vegetable despite the shared English word, and these figures do not apply to it.

Source

USDA SR28 entry 11007, raw globe artichoke, reports 3.27 g protein, 370 mg potassium and 11.7 mg vitamin C per 100 g. Vitamin A is 1 µg RAE, not the separate 13 IU value. A composition table is not evidence of liver treatment or a detox effect.
