Asparagus
In order of rows: 1/2 cup (90g), 1 cup (180g), and 4 spears (1/2 inch base, 60g), without wooden part.
I love to eat raw asparagus. Hence, I include the protein value. One spear spear, weighing 1.5 oz. as purchased, or 7″ long (0.8 oz.) edible spear, has 4 calories and a protein value of 0.5g.

Artichokes
Many people pass this gem of a vegetable by—except when in the popular artichoke & spinach dip, but they shouldn’t. Besides being a good plant protein source, it is also a nutrient powerhouse. The edible portion of one medium artichoke (4.2 ounces or 120g), provides you with 3.5g of protein and 7%DV. And, while this article isn’t about fiber, it is worth mentioning. Did you know that the same artichoke provides you with a whooping 41%DV of fiber. Something to think about.
