Our Verdict
When comparing artichoke to okra, we picked the okra.
Why?
Both have their merits, but there is a winner in the end:
In terms of macros, artichoke gets off to a good start with more fiber, carbs, and protein. The differences aren’t huge, but they’re there, so this is a nominal first-round win for artichoke.
In the category of vitamins, artichoke has negligibly more of vitamins B5 and B9, while okra has a lot more of vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E, and K, winning this round by a huge margin.
Looking at minerals, artichoke has more copper, iron, phosphorus, and potassium, while okra has more calcium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, giving okra a modest win in this round.
In other considerations, they’re both abundant in polyphenols, with nothing to strongly set one ahead of the other.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for okra, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
