Availability
Green Giant Fresh Artichokes are available year round.
Selection
Artichokes should be heavy for their size, compact, and firm with soft green color. During winter, artichokes may exhibit a white blistered or bronze appearance due to frost. This enhances its flavor.
Storage
Refrigerate.
Wash artichoke under running water. Pull off lower outer petals. Cut stems to 1 inch or less. Snip off tips of petals. Cook by boiling, steaming, microwaving, or sautéing.
Preparation
Remove the fuzzy center of a cooked and cooled artichoke and fill with a prepared salad such as chicken, tuna, or shrimp for a luncheon entree.
Cooking
Boil, steam, or microwave whole artichokes and serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a flavorful side dish.
