Our handmade Caramelized Artichoke Hearts are a sweet treat from Spain, made with Spanish baby artichokes carefully harvested for their petite size and fresh taste. Each artichoke has been double-boiled and promptly soaked in water, salt and citric acid, an artisan process that preserves their delicious taste and nutrition without the use of preservatives or dyes. A touch of sugar also brings a sweeter note to these delightful morsels. You can enjoy them grilled, fried, roasted, steamed, boiled, or sauted in olive oil and browned with a tasty sweet crust. Serve with onions, bread and linguini. Alternatively, pluck them straight out of the jar and eat them raw for a rewarding midnight snack! This product was created by Caprichos del Paladar, or "Whims of the Palate." This Spanish company cultivates and processes artichokes with the utmost care, farming, raising and carefully handling them from seed to sprout to packaging, ensuring only the best artichokes are brought to your kitchen.
