Sunchokes
Sunchokes are excellent sources of magnesium. One of the primary health benefits of magnesium can be to improve sleep quality. Studies have shown that magnesium can improve a range of different sleep quality metrics, including time taken to fall asleep and ability to stay asleep for longer. Sunchokes can be cooked or eaten raw, and are an excellent starch base for grain bowls.
Artichokes
Artichokes are high in calcium. For those who prefer not to get their calcium from traditional sources like milk, artichokes can be a flavorful way to get the mineral. While calcium is important for health in a number of ways, it is essential for bone health. Studies have shown that calcium increases bone density. The base of the artichoke leaves and the heart of the artichoke are edible once cooked, and there are various ways to prepare them and serve them in order to enjoy their benefits.
