What is Balen Artichoke Extract?
Balen Artichoke Extract is a packaged product made by concentrating extract from the edible parts of the artichoke. It is not the same as a serving of fresh artichoke or a prepared artichoke dish. Artichokes are commonly cooked, grilled or served as part of a mezze spread in Mediterranean cuisines, while an extract offers a more concentrated, convenient way to use the plant.
Its taste and texture depend on the product’s form, so follow the directions on the packaging. The listed typical serving is about one medium tablespoon (10 g). Fibre is a notable part of its nutrition profile, but the extract is not a substitute for eating vegetables. If you prefer a milder taste, try mixing it into water or another drink, while keeping to the suggested serving.
