Artichoke nutrition facts. Artichoke is one of the popular winter months edible flower bud of Mediterranean origin. Known as Ankinara in Greek, its use as a vegetable is well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans who advocated it for its medicinal and health benefiting qualities.
When people refer to an artichoke in cooking, they tend to mean the globe artichoke, of the thistle family. Two other artichokes, the Jerusalem and the Chinese, are also eaten, but they are vastly different from the globe. The Jerusalem is a form of daisy, and the root or tuber is eaten. The Chinese artichoke derives from the woundwort plant, and the tuber is also considered the edible part.
