Our Verdict
When comparing artichoke to green beans, we picked the artichoke.
Why?
In terms of macros, artichoke has nearly 2x the fiber, nearly 2x the protein, and slightly more carbs, making it to “more food per food” option in this category easily.
In the category of vitamins, artichokes have more of vitamins B3, B5, B6, B7, and B9, while green beans have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, E, and K, for a 5:5 tie in this round.
Looking at minerals, artichokes have more copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while green beans have more manganese and selenium, yielding to artichoke a 6:2 win here.
In other considerations, artichokes are also higher in polyphenols, so that’s another round in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for artichokes, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
