     @itsveganjim@mastodon.socia Interesting info, but the way this infographic presents it made me think: "I get 2x more protein from artichokes than asparagus".

     From Wikipedia's #nutrition data, normalized to 100 g:

     - artichokes: 2.81 g
     - asparagus: 2.2 g
     - broccoli: 2.82 g

     But wait: those who are watching their weight should be advised that artichokes have over twice the energy density of broccoli: 74 vs 34 kcal. 🥦

     There's already a large bag of frozen artichokes in my freezer, but good to know 🙂
