We are obviously talking about artichokes, the vegetables that will be the stars of your table, with their elegant shape and delicious flavour.

They will make you immediately fall in love with them; under that hard skin, they really do have a soft heart!

And is not just a simple artichoke the one that you will find on Orteat, it's the Thornless Violet Artichoke we are talking about!

Let's find out everything about this amazing variety!

The Italian Organic Artichokes that you can buy on Orteat come from our farmers in Sicily.

We work with our farmers every day to guarantee maximum levels of freshness of our hand-picked fruit and vegetables to directly send them at your doorstep in few days.

What are the Properties of Italian Organic Artichokes?

The scientific name for the artichoke is Cynara Scolymus, and the plant has an herbaceous stem up to a metre and a half high. At the end of its long, wide leaves, the vegetable flowers, with a blue-purple corolla.

The artichokes change colour depending on how ripe they are, and generally only the top part of the vegetable is eaten, while the stem is removed.

The Violet Artichoke is distinguished by the peculiar purple colour of the inflorescence and by the green stem.

Artichokes contain a lot of water, about 91%. They also contains 5% of fibre and 2% of protein along with few carbohydrates.

They are also rich in mineral salts, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and vitamins A, C and E.

What are the Benefits of Organic Italian Artichokes?

If artichokes could win a price, they would for sure get the golden one!

In fact, artichokes are very precious for our entire organism. They bring many health benefits and are able to perform particular functions which we will explain in detail:

Artichoke is usually recommended in the diets of diabetics, anaemics and arthritics. In fact, it stimulates the production of bile, improving liver activity and accelerating renal purification.

It is a digestive and detoxifying vegetable, thanks to the presence of 'cynarin', an active ingredient that also gives artichokes their special bitter taste.

How to eat and consume Italian organic artichokes: quick and easy recipes

Cooked, raw, in 'pinzimonio', cut into slices or added in salads, boiled or grilled. On their own or in elaborate recipes, artichokes are as elegant as they are versatile!

For first courses they can be used to cook a delicious risotto or a delicate soup, but also for special and refined pasta dishes.

They can be also a delicious side dish for meat and fish, but you can also combine them with eggs or many other vegetables.

Come on, let's hurry up an create some extravagant recipes!

How to store Organic Italian Artichokes

Our Organic Italian Artichokes can last up to five days if stored in a cool and dry place. It is said that pouring the bottom ends in water, can make them last longer. We always recommend eating them quickly in order to enjoy them at their best. If you want to store them for one week, you can put them in a paper bag in the vegetable drawer of your fridge.
