Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Stuffed Artichoke

Stuffed artichokes vary substantially with their filling. These figures describe the USDA example made with breadcrumbs, Parmesan and olive oil. Its 250 g edible serving provides 400 calories. It should not be used as the nutrition panel for a Turkish rice-filled artichoke.

The whole artichoke or the part eaten?

150 g of edible stuffed artichoke provides 240 calories; 250 g provides 400. The 250 g serving contains about 13.33 g protein, 55.75 g carbohydrate, 14.85 g fat and 9.75 g fibre. Discarded tough leaves and cooking water left in the pan do not count towards the edible weight.

Why the filling matters

The source ingredients include cooked artichoke, dry breadcrumbs, onion, celery, Parmesan, parsley, salt and olive oil. The filling and oil are already included in the stuffed-artichoke figure, so do not add them a second time. Rice stuffing, a different amount of oil or a different cheese requires a separate recipe calculation.

Keep plain boiled artichoke separate. The stuffed portion includes breadcrumbs, cheese and oil, so its 250 g weight is not equivalent to 250 g plain vegetable.

Salt and serving additions

A 250 g portion contains 1,010 mg sodium, equivalent to about 2.53 g salt. It therefore does not have the same sodium content as plain artichoke. Yogurt, sauce or bread served alongside must be added when calculating the full meal. With breadcrumbs and Parmesan, this recipe cannot be assumed gluten-free or milk-free.
