Artichoke

The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is an edible flower head that originally comes from the Mediterranean region. This plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and has been cultivated and consumed for centuries. In the kitchen, the artichoke is often used in salads, dips, and as a side dish, but also in traditional dishes in countries like Italy and France.

For animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses, artichoke can be an interesting addition to their diet. In dogs, it is sometimes added to food because of its fiber and antioxidants. Chickens can benefit from the nutrients that artichokes provide, contributing to their overall health. For horses, supporting digestion can be an advantage, especially due to its fiber-rich composition.

Although artichoke is not considered a primary feed ingredient, it can serve as a healthy treat. It is important to ensure moderate intake and to monitor the animal's reactions, as not all animals respond the same way to new foods.
