How to Prepare, Cook & Eat an Artichoke

Native to the Mediterranean region, the artichoke is the not-yet-bloomed flower of a thistle plant that is part of the sunflower family. Despite their slightly prickly exterior, artichokes are quite easy to prepare, cook and eat. Plus, they’re packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and dietary fiber.

Preparing an artichoke: Fresh artichokes in a paper bag

Easy Artichoke Prep

Because they have sharp barbs, the first thing you’ll want to do in preparation is to cut the top cluster of barbs off with a sharp knife. This will remove about a quarter of the artichoke. Then, utilizing kitchen shears, cut the barbs off the tops of the remaining leaves.

TIP: Don’t worry that you’re taking too much off the top of the artichoke or the tops of the leaves—the edible part is at the base of the leaf. More on that later …

Now that the artichoke is easier to handle, remove the small leaves at the base, closest to the stem and cut the stem, leaving about a ½”.
The final step is to rinse the artichoke under cool running water to remove any debris that might be trapped in between petals.

Cooking an Artichoke: It’s Easy!

Add just enough water to a pot so that the water is just below the steamer basket. Cover and bring the water to a boil.
Add the prepared artichoke, replace the lid and lower the heat to simmer the water. It will take 20-40 minutes to cook. After 20 minutes, you’ll want to check the artichoke(s) every 5 minutes. The color will change from fresh green to a more muted green and you’ll know it’s ready when you can easily remove a petal. TIP: Use tongs for this part—those petals will be really hot!
Set aside and allow to cool a bit before eating it.

Now What? How to Eat an Artichoke

Serve the artichoke right-side up on a plate.
Remove a petal from the artichoke and eat only the bottom, whitish fleshy part of the petal that was closest to the base of the artichoke.
You can certainly eat artichokes plain, or with a little salt & pepper. Try dipping them in melted butter or ghee, a tangy vinaigrette or a savory aioli.

TIP: Have a bowl at-the-ready for discarded petals.

Easy Aioli Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

2 Garlic cloves, pressed
¼ tsp. Kosher salt
½ cup Sprouts Organic Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Sprouts Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Mash garlic and salt in a small bowl until a paste forms.
Whisk in mayonnaise, oil and lemon juice.
Season with salt and pepper—enjoy!

Did you know?

One artichoke plant can produce up to 20 artichokes per year.

Let’s Get Cookin’

Gluten-Free Cooking

Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, rye, spelt and kamut. It’s part of what gives certain foods their structure and texture. Think about chewy bread or pizza dough—gluten is what makes that texture. If you’re looking to cut gluten from your diet, we’ve got a few tips as well as a free downloadable gluten-free cookbook packed with great tips and seven recipes you’ll want to try!

Hidden gluten?

Unfortunately, hidden gluten exists. Many processed foods have gluten in them, that’s because food manufacturers use gluten as a stabilizer, emulsifier, thickener and flow agent. This means it can show up in some least-expected places like flavorings and spice mixes, frozen foods, candy, sauces and more.

The Upside

The good news is, more than likely, plenty of what you already eat is naturally gluten free. Unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, meats and seafood are all great choices. And, cooking gluten-free is easier than ever with the expansive selection you’ll find at Sprouts that fit your diet.

Surf Sweets

Whether you are filling Easter baskets, lunch boxes or packing a picnic, there is always room for a sweet snack. And Surf Sweets candy is the best kind!

Ground-Based Nutrition

Fuel for Life

When Charles Weller was looking for a clean protein to build muscle and help keep him healthy, he struggled to find something that was natural and tasted good. His old whey protein caused too much inflammation in his body so he knew he had to go plant-based. He started making Superfood Protein in his kitchen, mixing all the ingredients that were vital to building muscle and keeping the body healthy, including organic plant-based protein, a full serving of greens and superfoods. He wanted something that wasn’t chalky or gritty, but mixed well and tasted great. People in San Diego kept trying to buy his Superfood Protein for themselves after tasting it. After all, shouldn’t your protein smoothies taste as amazing as you are?? That’s how Ground-Based Nutrition was born.

Tabañero

Tabañero is more than just a hot sauce—it’s a lifestyle. It’s about living with passion and fire! It’s about going from good to great, ordinary to extraordinary. The Tabañero team wanted to create a line of hot sauces for conscious consumers that were not only delicious but also packed with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Tabañero’s unique flavor comes from the combination of carrots, onions, garlic, key-lime juice, red habañero peppers and agave nectar. The agave nectar balances out the heat of the habañeros and adds a hint of sweetness. Tabañero is not vinegar-based so you can actually cook with it and not have that pungent vinegar taste that is associated with other hot sauces. Tabañero is all-natural, gluten-free and low in sodium. The Tabañero team has dedicated taste testers to ensure the quality and flavor always meets the standard of being “the most flavorful hot sauce in the world.” Pick up a bottle of your healthy heat today and spread the spicy love!
