Artichokes can work wonders on our complexion. Super rich in vitamins and minerals, they also have one of the highest levels of antioxidant levels of all veggies! In Vietnamese culture, artichoke tea (Tea Atiso) is known to remove toxins from the body and clear acne. Studies have also shown that the micronutrients in artichoke improve skin elasticity and firmness.
With all these amazing benefits, it’s not surprising that artichoke tea is being sold as a superfood beverage. But you can make it easily at home!
