Are artichokes related to sunflowers?
Yes.What's commonly referred to as an artichoke should really be called a 'globe artichoke' to differentiate it from a 'Jerusalem artichoke' and the other varieties.Sunflowers and (globe) Artichokes are from the same family Asteraceae, but so are daisies, chicory, safflower, and iceberg lettuce (and more than 20,000 other variety of plants)The globe artichoke is from a variety of Thistle; and like a sunflower, the flower part will bloom and have seeds within the bloom. We just usually happen to eat them before that happens.The Jerusalem artichoke, also called sunroot, sunchoke, earth apple or topinambour, is an actual species of sunflower classified as a type of Helianthus (a sub type of Asteraceae)Aside from the two most common types (globe and jerusalem) there are at least a dozen other types of edible artichoke with a variety of names (chinese artichoke, etc). Some are sunflowers (or would be if allowed to bloom) such as the jerusalem while others more closely resemble thistles if not harvested first.Essentially the choke can be harvested off of most variety of thistle or sunflower before it blooms, some are more edible than others. For example the Siena Artichoke has a heart soft enough to eat raw.

What are some examples of food in the vegetable nutrients?
Nearly all vegetables are rich in nutrients, with the leafy green vegetables in the cruciferous/brassica family (kale, collards, turnips, mustard, bok choy, rapini, napa cabbage, Brussels sprouts) leading the pack, along with the leafy green vegetables in the amaranth/chenopod family (spinach, chard, beet greens).The Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) score, developed by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, measures calcium; the carotenoids beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene; fiber; folate; glucosinolates; iron; magnesium; niacin; selenium; vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6, B12, C, and E; and zinc, plus the ORAC score X 2. Most importantly, the ANDI scores are based on calories, not volume or weight of food, so a lower-calorie food with more nutrients scores higher than a calorie-dense food.Here are some ANDI scores for vegetables, from most nutrient-dense to least nutrient-dense:Mustard/Turnip/Collard Greens; Cooked Kale; Watercress 1000+Kale, raw 905Bok Choy 825Spinach, raw 739Rapini 715Napa Cabbage, cooked 704Spinach, cooked 697Brussels Sprouts 672Chard, cooked 670Napa Cabbage, raw 600Chicory Greens, raw 591Chlorella; Spirulina 561Arugula 559Radishes 554Basil, fresh 475Parsley, fresh 474Spearmint, fresh 457Bean Sprouts 444Cilantro, fresh 431Oregano, fresh; Tarragon, fresh 426Thyme, fresh 422Cabbage, raw; Red Pepper 420Leaf Lettuce 406Kohlrabi 393Romaine 389Broccoli, raw 376Cabbage, cooked 374Pumpkin, canned 372Yellow or Orange Pepper 371V-8 Vegetable Juice, low sodium 365Radicchio 359Horseradish Root; Red Cabbage, raw 352Carrot Juice 344Broccoli, cooked; Broccolini; Tomato Juice, low sodium 342Boston, Butterhead, or Bibb Lettuce 339Turnips 337Carrots, cooked 336Red Cabbage, cooked 330Dandelion Greens, cooked 329Dill, fresh 326Green Chile Peppers, 323Curly Endive; Escarole 322Acai Berries 319Wheatgrass Juice 312Sorrel, boiled 310Mixed Baby Greens 300Cauliflower, cooked 295Peppermint, fresh 293Cauliflower, raw 285Bay Leaves 271Chives, fresh 269Salsa 267Green Pepper 258Tomato Sauce, canned, low sodium 248Artichoke 244Carrots, raw 240Asparagus, cooked 234Zucchini 222Belgian Endive 215Dulse, 212Nori 209Ginger 200Tomato Paste, no salt 197Tomato, cooked 190Scallions 173Pumpkin 170Serrano Peppers 167Jalepeno Peppers; Tomatoes, raw 164Tomatoes, canned, no salt 163Butternut Squash 159Eggplant, cooked 149Bamboo Shoots, canned 144Summer Squash 141Okra, cooked 139Squash: Sweet Dumpling, Red Kuri, Kabocha, Delicata, Carnival, Buttercup 137Celery; Mushrooms, raw 135Alfalfa Sprouts 130Snow Peas or Sugar Snap Peas, raw 127Cardoons 120Wakame 115Radish Sprouts 114Snow Peas or Sugar Snap Peas, cooked; Sun Dried Tomatoes 113Iceberg Lettuce 110Blue Hubbard Squash 108Rhubarb, cooked 107Beets, cooked 97Ketchup, low sodium 92Rosemary 84Sweet Potato 83Leeks, cooked 80Green Beans, canned 76Jicama; Rutabaga Root 75Green Beans, cooked; Yellow Crookneck Squash 74Tomatillo 72Green Peas 70Chayote Squash 67Celery Root; Salba 66Fennel Bulb 60Edamame; Garlic 58Pasilla Pepper, dried 54Cucumbers; Onions, cooked 50Green Peas, canned; Spaghetti Squash 49Mustard 47Acorn Squash; Lima Beans 46Corn; Shallots 44Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin 43Avocado; Parsnips 37Hearts of Palm; Sunchoke Root 36Burdock Root 29Yellow corn, canned 28Taro Root 24Yams, cooked 23Yucca (Cassava) 18French Fries 7
