There is something wonderful about artichokes besides the taste (I wish I
knew what), one of my favorite foods. Artichoke carbs are about 40%
fiber, so a medium one has about 7 or 8 grams of utilizable carbs, the
good kind in my opinion.
Neanderthin, 4th ed, p.59 lists artichoke as a permitted vegetable.
