Our Verdict
When comparing artichoke to cauliflower, we picked the artichoke.
Why?
It takes an impressive vegetable to beat a Brassica oleracea cultivar, but here we are:
In terms of macros, artichoke has nearly 3x the fiber, as well as 2x the carbs and nearly 2x the protein. The fiber is the biggest difference (in total amount, not just in multiples) and easily wins it for artichoke here.
In the category of vitamins, artichoke has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B9, and E, while cauliflower has more of vitamins B5, B6, C, and K. Thus, a 6:4 victory for artichoke on this one.
When it comes to minerals, artichoke has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while cauliflower has more selenium. An easy win for artichoke.
Adding up the sections makes for a very convincing overall win for artichoke, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
