Our Verdict
When comparing artichoke to carrots, we picked the artichoke.
Why?
Both are great, but still, it wasn’t close:
In terms of macros, the artichoke has nearly 2x the fiber and more than 3x the protein, for the same carbs; a clear first-round win for artichoke.
In the category of vitamins, artichoke has more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, C, and K, while carrots have more of vitamins A, B6, and E, giving artichoke an 8:3 win in this second round.
Looking at minerals, artichoke has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while carrots are not higher in any minerals; a complete win for artichoke here.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for artichoke, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
