About Artichoke heart

An artichoke heart is the tender central portion of a globe artichoke after the outer leaves and, where present, the fuzzy choke are removed. It is pale cream to light green, with a compact, tender texture and a mild, slightly sweet, vegetal flavour.

Hearts are used cooked in salads, sauces, and other savoury preparations. They are sold fresh, frozen, or preserved in water, brine, or oil, whole or cut. These forms differ in texture and flavour, especially when the preserving liquid or added oil remains with the product.
