FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between artichoke hearts and bottoms?
The heart includes the bottom and the tender inner leaves, while the bottom is just the fleshy, cup-shaped base of the vegetable.
How do I pick the best fresh artichokes for the bottoms?
Look for heavy, firm artichokes with tightly closed leaves that squeak when squeezed.
Can artichoke bottoms be frozen?
Yes, they can be frozen after blanching in lemon water for 3-5 minutes to preserve color and texture.
What is a good substitute for artichoke bottoms?
Artichoke hearts are the closest substitute. Hearts of palm or even thick slices of eggplant can work in some cooked recipes.
Are artichoke bottoms high in sodium?
Fresh artichoke bottoms are naturally low in sodium, but canned or jarred versions are often stored in brine and can be very high in salt.
How do you prepare a fresh artichoke to get to the bottom?
Snap off all leaves, scoop out the fuzzy 'choke' in the center, and trim the outer green skin until only the pale, fleshy base remains.
What are common ways to serve artichoke bottoms?
They are often stuffed with meat, cheese, or vegetables, added to salads, or served as a side dish braised in lemon and oil.
Are artichoke bottoms keto-friendly?
Yes, they are relatively low in net carbs (about 5g per 100g) and high in fiber, making them suitable for most keto diets in moderation.
Do artichoke bottoms contain gluten?
No, artichoke bottoms are naturally gluten-free.
