What the AI looks for in Canned & Jarred Artichoke Hearts
- Water vs marinated
- Water or brine for cooking and dips. Oil marinade for eating as is. Marinated hearts bring oil and herbs that can clash with a recipe.
- Oil type
- Check whether the marinade uses olive oil or a seed oil such as soybean or sunflower. The oil changes both flavor and quality.
- Cut
- Whole for stuffing or plating. Quartered for salads and pizza. Quartered jars are easier to use but contain more loose leaves.
- Tenderness
- Hearts should have few tough outer leaves. Cheaper packs include fibrous leaves you have to trim off.
Brands that matter
- Cara Mia: Jarred marinated artichoke hearts.
- Reese: Canned plain artichoke hearts.
- Roland: Imported canned artichoke hearts and bottoms.
What to avoid
- Buying marinated hearts for a dip recipe that calls for water-packed
Questions
Are artichoke hearts and artichoke bottoms the same?
No. Hearts include the tender inner leaves. Bottoms are the leafless base, which is better for stuffing.
