Frozen artichokes

Frozen artichokes are artichoke leaves and hearts that have been cleaned, prepared, and preserved through freezing to maintain their properties and freshness for a longer time. This ingredient is highly valued in cooking for its delicate flavor and tender texture, making it ideal for a wide variety of recipes such as stews, salads, pastas, and appetizers.

Origin: The artichoke is a plant native to the Mediterranean basin, especially cultivated in countries like Spain, Italy, and France. The freezing technique allows this product to be enjoyed out of season, preserving its quality and flavor almost identical to the fresh product.

Properties: Artichokes are rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C and vitamin K), and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Additionally, they have digestive and detoxifying properties, making them a healthy and nutritious food to incorporate into a daily diet.

Synonyms in Latin America: Although alcachofa is the most common term, in some countries they are also known as crisoles or alcauciles (primarily in Mexico and Argentina).
