Selecting, storing & prepping artichoke
- Selecting
- A fresh artichoke should feel heavy for its size and its leaves should squeak slightly when pressed together; leaves that are spread open, browning, or dry at the tips suggest it's aging.
- Storing
- Fresh whole artichokes keep about 5-7 days refrigerated in a plastic bag; a light sprinkle of water on the bag helps maintain humidity.
- Prepping
- Rubbing cut edges of an artichoke with lemon juice as you trim it slows the browning caused by exposure to air.

- More fiber than 83% of foods · 100% of vegetables
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
