When choosing canned artichokes, you'll find that they're usually sold either whole or quartered in a saltwater solution. When you open a can of artichokes, be sure to rinse them thoroughly so that all you're left with is the sweet, slightly tangy flavor and creamy texture of the vegetable. Some recipes may call for a few tablespoons of the marinade, so don't dump it all immediately. The jarred variety is usually sold as marinated artichoke hearts, which are super flavorful and ready to eat as is, or added to a cheese and meat board.
In addition to being long-lasting, canned and jarred artichokes are fantastic because they're convenient, available year-round, and super versatile.

The easiest artichoke option of them all, of course, is simply eating them straight from the jar. If you're buying canned from the supermarket, you'll want to be sure to give them a good rinse to remove excess sodium; otherwise, it's easy to eat them straight.
Artichokes are a surprisingly nutritious vegetable packed with fiber and protein that will keep you feeling full. Get creative with whole steamed or boiled artichokes, or add canned or jarred artichoke hearts to bump up the nutrients in all kinds of dishes.
Ideally, only the young, tender hearts and small leaves that surround it go into jars of marinated artichoke hearts. Great marinated artichoke hearts are bright and herby and have such a pleasant balance of salt and vinegar that it's hard to resist eating them straight from the jar.
Run the artichoke under cold water, pulling apart the leaves to carefully rinse out the vegetable and remove any impurities. Immediately submerge the prepared artichoke in a bowl of cold water with lemon juice. Keep prepared artichokes in this lemon water till ready to steam.
Artichokes contain many nutrients and may offer potential health benefits, including liver health support, blood pressure regulation, and improved fiber and vitamin intake.
Frozen Artichokes Are Firmer With Less Water Content
This firmer texture makes frozen artichokes ideal for dishes where distinct artichoke pieces are desired. Frozen artichokes retain their natural flavor without the added salt or preservatives often found in canned varieties.
Canned artichokes are also a lunchtime hero: Try chopping and stirring them into a quick meal like chicken or tuna salad, or even let them replace the protein altogether as a vegetarian option. Chop them even finer and use them as a flavor-bomb of a spread on a regular ham or turkey sandwich.
When giving a number of recommended artichokes, we could say that there is no exact number. Still, eating about 2 or 3 servings per week is recommended to leave room for other very beneficial foods that will provide other much-needed nutrients.
There aren't many vegetables high in iron. Vegetables that are high in iron include artichokes, asparagus, baked potatoes, and other vegetables. If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, or if you just love vegetables, you may wonder whether you are getting all the iron you need.
Try adding them to pizzas, Italian sandwiches, or traditional green salads as toppings. (If you go the pizza route, artichokes are especially delicious paired with creamy pizza sauces, rather than traditional marinara.)
Peel off each leaf, dip in the garlic lemon butter, and scrape the “meat” off with your teeth. Once all leaves have been removed, scrape thistle away from the artichoke heart using a fork or spoon. Be sure to remove all the thistles before eating. Dip the artichoke heart into the lemon butter and enjoy!
