Love That Luteolin
Not only did luteolin improve basic memory performance, but it also improved spatial working memory, according to the results of a separate maze test. What that might mean for humans? Less time getting lost in the mall or the superstore parking lot. Artichokes seem too fussy? Green peppers, celery, chamomile tea, and parsley are other great sources of luteolin. But why not boil up a few whole artichokes? Or try one of these tasty artichoke recipes from EatingWell:
- Spinach-and-Brie-Topped Artichoke Hearts
- Grilled Artichokes
- Potato-Artichoke Soup
- Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Stuffed Artichokes
