Benefits Of Artichoke Juice For One And All
Artichoke originated in the Mediterranean countries and was a
popular delicacy at Roman feasts. It is now grown in many hot
areas and is an important crop in parts of California. A good
artichoke will have a nice color, well closed centre leaves and
be without bruises or blemishes. The base should be without any
tendency to woodiness. Artichoke is often eaten raw as well as
cooked, but cooking artichokes in an aluminum pot causes
discoloration and blackening. Like other plants in the thistle
family, to which it belong, the artichoke contains some
therapeutically valuable oils which have a strong stabilizing
effect on the human metabolism.
It is used to aid liver complaints and is also a very important
diuretic for those suffering from the retention of water. In
some parts artichoke forms the basis for several drinks which
are fortified with alcohol. You can try one yourself with by
juicing 20z (50g) of the artichoke leaves and adding
both
artichoke juice and the residual pulp to a bottle of white wine.
Leave for a week, strain into a clean bottle and it is ready for
use. A wine glassful each day is the normal amount to take. This
is a useful recipe because artichokes are not always available
and there are great price fluctuations. With wine you can take
the juice whenever you wish.
This is called 'artichoke elixir' in the therapeutic index.
Artichoke juice is not normally taken alone, but is mixed with
others and, where its use is suggested, it can be fresh, frozen
or with wine. Artichoke extract is not a very good source of
vitamin C, but is rich in calcium.
