FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does boiled artichoke last in the fridge?
When stored in an airtight container, boiled artichokes will stay fresh for 3 to 5 days.
Can you freeze boiled artichokes?
Yes, you can freeze them. It is best to freeze only the hearts or well-trimmed pieces. They last about 6-8 months in the freezer.
How do I know when the artichoke is finished boiling?
The artichoke is done when a knife easily pierces the base (stem end) or when an outer leaf pulls away with very little resistance.
What parts of the boiled artichoke are edible?
The edible parts are the fleshy base of the leaves, the heart, and the center of the stem.
Why did my artichoke turn dark or black after boiling?
Artichokes oxidize quickly. To prevent this, use a stainless steel pot (avoid aluminum or iron) and add lemon juice to the water.
Is boiled artichoke high in sodium?
Since this version is boiled in salted water, it contains about 350mg of sodium per 100g, which is moderate. Rinse if you need to reduce salt.
What is a good substitute for globe artichokes?
Canned or frozen artichoke hearts are the closest substitute. Cardoons or Jerusalem artichokes can also be used in some recipes.
How should I pick a fresh artichoke for boiling?
Look for artichokes that feel heavy for their size, have tight leaves, and make a 'squeak' when squeezed.
Is boiled artichoke keto-friendly?
Yes, while it has 10.5g of carbs, 5.7g of that is fiber, resulting in only 4.8g of net carbs per 100g.
What is the best way to reheat a boiled artichoke?
Steaming for 5-10 minutes is the best way to maintain texture. You can also microwave it covered with a damp paper towel.
