If 50 Shades Of Grey has got you ready for some fun in the bedroom, but your partner needs a helping hand to get in the mood, perhaps they could take a leaf, or more technically a flower, out of France’s book.
In Europe the artichoke has been seen as an aphrodisiac for centuries, where in the 16th Century only men were allowed to eat the unusually edible flower because of its reported libido enhancing qualities. The French Court evem considered Katherine De Medici, who married King Henry II, scandalous for eating such a large quantity of artichokes and she proclaimed in her defence
“If one of us had eaten artichokes, we would have been pointed out on the street. Today young women are more forward than pages at the court.”
It is certainly true that the artichoke is healthy, jam packed with important vitamins and minerals, and said to help with certain digestive problems, and so it should definitely make you feel good one way or another.
How to benefit from artichoke
In the UK it can be hard to find fresh artichokes, but there is now a unique artichoke tea available, which allows you to test out its purported aphrodisiac qualities for yourself in an easy and tasty way.
