Also Known As: Globe Artichoke
Uses:
Reduces cholesterol levels
Stimulates liver function
Bloating
Cynara grows easily in the warmer Mediterranean climate. It is often found as part of the diet of those living in these countries, and is considered to be a luxury food.
Cynara has a bitter taste due to the presence of cynaropicrin and cynarin, which are found only in the green parts of the plant. They have very specific properties, protecting and enhancing liver function in a way similar to silymarin which is found in Milk Thistle. Cynara also contains a group of compounds known as phenolic acids which have the ability to reduce blood cholesterol and lipid levels through their action on the liver.
