Artichokes in oil

Canned artichokes are artichoke hearts that have been harvested, cleaned, and cooked before being packaged in jars or cans with water, salt, and sometimes oil or vinegar for preservation. This process allows you to enjoy this delicate and nutritious ingredient year-round, without depending on the fresh season.

The artichoke is a plant native to the Mediterranean, particularly prized in countries like Spain and Italy. Its cultivation has spread to various regions of Latin America, where it is also valued in local gastronomy.

Canned artichokes retain much of the nutritional properties of fresh artichokes, being an excellent source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins such as C and folic acid. Furthermore, they aid digestion and have diuretic and detoxifying effects.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, especially in Latin America, canned artichokes can be found under names such as canned artichoke (Argentina), artichoke, or even canned artichokes, depending on the country and culinary context.

This ingredient is ideal for preparing salads, pastas, pizzas, side dishes, or incorporating it into stews and stuffings, providing a mild flavor and a tender yet firm texture.
