Consumption Tips
The digestive and depurative properties of artichokes render them ideal as an accompaniment to fat-rich foods.
- Using virgin olive oil is the best option for dressing artichokes. When used raw, all dietetic and therapeutic properties of the so-called “liquid gold” are maintained.
- The external leafs or bracts of artichokes must not be used. However, their stalk or peduncle, if properly prepared, can be consumed together with the artichokes heart.
- It is recommended to use gloves when washing and cutting artichokes, in order to prevent the skin of our hands from being stained or getting blackish.
- It is recommended to use lemon juice to avoid the oxidation of vitamin C and thus prevent artichokes from getting blackish because of the action of the oxygen of air.
- It is also recommended to deploy fast cooking techniques, such as the pressure cooker, so as to avoid the loss of water-soluble vitamins.
