What is Artichoke Powder?
Artichoke powder, derived from the flower buds of the artichoke plant (Cynara cardunculus), is obtained from a plant belonging to the thistle family. This variety has been cultivated for its edible flower buds, which are harvested before they bloom. The artichoke's history traces back to ancient times, with the modern variety first appearing during the Middle Ages and later introduced to America by European settlers. The artichoke's leaf has been used in herbal medicine for its beneficial properties for thousands of years.
