Artichokes
Artichokes are the edible flower buds of a thistle, prized for tender hearts and a mild, nutty flavor. Use trimmed fresh artichokes, cooked hearts, or drained jarred artichokes depending on the recipe.
Identity
Tender hearts
Use the hearts when a recipe needs quick, mild artichoke flavor.
Jarred or thawed frozen artichoke hearts save prep time. Drain them well before cooking so they add flavor without watering down sauces, fillings, or baked dishes.
