These artichoke bottoms are so much better than artichoke hearts! You have to peel away half of the artichoke hearts, wheras you can use every bit of these bottoms. I slice them finely and use them in many dishes. I ordered a case of them and am happy to have them in my pantry. When I run out, I will definitely buy more. I think this is an excellent brand.

The artichoke bottom is really the only part worth eating. It is firm, meaty and flavorful.
Things sold as "hearts" are usually 80% small fibrous leaves and a tiny bit of "heart"
You can serve these bottoms as a steamed vegetable, or deep fried or marinated in salads.
This brand is good. There are an average of 7 bottoms per can.

Warning. These can be tough and don't seem to be fully cooked during processing so I steam them for 10-12 minutes before serving with butter or marinating for salad and appetizer.

Nice to always have some around.

On Subscribe and Save these are a very good value. They are very tasty and surprisingly not very salty at all. I rinse them off as a rule, but they really don't need it. I like just snacking on them instead of sweets, each can (not each serving--each CAN)is 90 calories, can't beat that. You can really tell the difference between brands when, as I needed to do, I had to use up one can of another brand in my pantry to add to the three cans of Cento I was using in a recipe. I noticed that many of the outer leaves were tougher and more fibrous, inedible. Cento brand artichokes are tender. I like them in salads and on top of homemade pizzas. I noticed that each 'quarter' is sliced at the perfect size to use as is in salads and on pizza. Sometimes the quarters are bulkier and I have to cut them in half to use them. This is ready to go. I also appreciate the pull-tab opening, no can opener to dig out of the drawer. I have placed a second order to keep them handy.

Can make lots of good things with these

Being a brine solution gives them a salty taste. I cut the artichokes in half, put them in a small bowl and pour Italian dressing over them. Which makes them a tasty snack.
