Artichoke – ground

Cynara scolymus

In ancient herbals, artichokes are known as plants with a bitter, clear taste. Not a soft flower, but a robust plant that draws its strength from its leaves and stems. For generations, artichokes have been used as part of a diet when the body needs structure, circulation, and cleansing.

This ground artichoke ( Cynara scolymus ) is made from the whole plant and fits into a botanical approach to nutrition: observant, supplementary and always in connection with the whole.

A plant with a bitter character

Bitter substances have traditionally played a role in nutrition and herbalism. They're traditionally used when digestion feels sluggish or when fatty meals require more attention. Artichoke is a classic in this regard: earthy, distinctive, and purposeful.

In holistic dog food, artichoke powder is often chosen as a temporary supplement, for example when the stomach is audibly working, stools are changing or when there is a need for additional support of the digestive processes.
