ARTICHOKE HEARTS IN OIL - USES AND CONSUMPTION:

The artichoke is a tasty and much sought-after winter vegetable, known since ancient times for its beneficial properties for the body. Rich in vitamin C, fibre, minerals, protein, niacin and pantothenic acid, they fight free radicals. Artichokes are diuretic, depurative and detoxifying for the liver and help digest and fight ageing and purify the skin. Recommended for those who follow a healthy diet, they have very few calories and are able to regulate the appetite.

Artichoke production is highest in Italy, but mainly in Sicily and Sardinia. The artichoke plant prefers mild and humid climates, but can withstand temperatures as low as 0°C.

Our artichokes, after being cleaned of leaves, are cooked and preserved in oil. They have a delicate, sweet flavour and are very delicious and used in the kitchen for many recipes. They are perfect for an aperitif.
