Artichoke Powder (Comext) is a food-grade botanical ingredient supplied as a dry, milled powder for B2B manufacturing and formulation. On ingredient marketplaces, it is commonly positioned as artichoke leaf powder, used as a plant-based input in supplement, functional food, and wellness premix applications where a recognizable Cynara ingredient is desired.
Artichoke (globe artichoke) is botanically referenced as Cynara cardunculus (with Cynara scolymus commonly used as a synonym in trade and historical references). Artichoke leaves are associated with naturally occurring phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid and caffeoylquinic acid derivatives (often discussed alongside cynarin/cynaropicrin in technical literature).
