What are artichokes?
Artichokes are edible thistle-like plants that have tender, immature flower buds. Native to western and central Mediterranean and North Africa, today it is cultivated in Mediterranean countries, the Americas, and other regions with rich soil and mild climate.
Though its varying characteristics often prompt the question “Is artichoke a fruit or vegetable?” culinary speaking it is considered a vegetable.
It belongs to the Asteraceae, thistle, or sunflower family and stands out for its unique shape resembling a pinecone. Artichokes are green and have a bulb-shaped top connected to a stem. The top is made up of tightly packed leaves around a central core.
There are over 100 types of artichokes with the most common being Globe artichokes known for their large, round shape resembling a tulip.
Artichokes are in season from March to May as well as a smaller harvest from November to December.
This vegetable is commonly boiled or steamed and served as a hot appetizer with sauces or a cold salad or appetizer.
There are only a few parts of the artichoke that you can eat. These include the bottom fleshy portion of the leaves and the center heart. You eat the leaves like a chip pulling off one leaf at a time. Then biting down and scraping out the bottom flesh with your teeth.
The top part of the leaves is tough and fibery and should be thrown away once the bottom flesh is eaten. This part can also be removed before eating.
Artichokes can be purchased fresh, frozen, jarred, or canned. Fresh artichokes can be expensive and often time-consuming to prepare.
Frozen, canned, and jarred artichokes are prepped and ready to be eaten. This makes them a great alternative to fresh artichokes. They are sold in whole quarters as well as the meaty center heart.
What are artichoke hearts?
In the center of the artichoke is the tender, fleshy center at the base of the artichoke. Known as the artichoke heart this part of the artichoke is also edible.
Obtaining fresh artichoke hearts can be quite time-consuming. That is why I opted to create a frozen artichoke heart recipe instead.
What do artichoke hearts taste like
The taste of an artichoke is described as tender and creamy with a subtle nutty flavor. It has a tender, meaty texture with a slightly sweet and earthy flavor. Artichoke hearts pair well with various seasonings like garlic, olive oil, and ginger.
What to do with artichoke hearts
This veggie is very versatile so there are many ways how to eat artichoke hearts. They can be enjoyed on their own but if you want to kick up the flavor a bit you can pair them with seasonings or other foods for an even greater taste.
Just like regular artichokes, appetizers with artichoke hearts are a typical go-to when using this food in a recipe. One popular starter dish is artichoke hearts and spinach dip. They can also be added to sandwiches, and salads, topped on pizza, pasta, main entrees, or made into dips.
Are artichoke hearts good for you?
So when it comes to whether or not are artichokes healthy it has to do with what nutrients are found in this food.
Foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are considered healthy and good for you. Additionally, research shows artichokes and artichoke hearts contain health-promoting properties.
It is also important to keep in account the additional ingredients in artichoke hearts.
A marinade for artichoke hearts that are jarred or canned may include sugar, salt, or other preservatives which will affect the overall nutrient levels ultimately making plain healthy artichoke hearts lower in nutrients.
The next section goes over artichoke hearts’ nutrition information.
Nutritional value of artichokes and artichoke hearts
The USDA food database has various information on the nutritional value of frozen whole artichokes and artichoke hearts.
When comparing the nutritional value of artichoke hearts to that of full artichokes there are some differences.
The USDA artichoke nutrition facts says a 100-gram serving of a WHOLE FROZEN artichoke has the following nutrients when raw or cooked:
- 54 – 56 calories
- 2 – 3 grams protein
- 0 grams fat
- 12 grams carb
- 4 – 6 grams fiber
As you can see, there are slight variations in the amount of calories, protein, fiber, and carbs in artichokes, whether raw or cooked.
Folate, magnesium, and vitamin K are the most prevalent artichoke nutrients. This veggie is an excellent source of folate and a good source of magnesium and vitamin K.
Additionally, there are some smaller amounts of nutrients in artichokes. These include riboflavin, copper, potassium, niacin, thiamin, B6, calcium, iron, and vitamins A, E, and C.
The USDA artichoke nutritional value also shows this vegetable contains the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. Like certain artichoke vitamins and minerals, cooking also enhances the levels of antioxidants present in this veggie.
When looking at the nutrition of artichoke hearts and a whole artichoke there are both similarities and differences between these foods.
According to the USDA, a 100-gram serving of artichoke hearts has 4 grams of protein, no fat, 10 grams of carbs, and 50 calories. This is comparable to the amount of protein, fat, carbs, and calories in an artichoke.
There also seem to be fewer nutrients in artichoke hearts when compared with whole artichokes. Though they do contain small amounts of calcium, iron, and potassium.
Additionally, like whole artichokes, they are a good source of fiber with 5 grams per serving.

Once thawed, drain the water and any excess liquid. If you find the artichokes are very wet, pat them with a towel to remove any excess moisture before using them in the recipe.
Then set the artichoke hearts aside to be used in the recipe.
How to cook frozen artichoke hearts
There are many ways of cooking artichoke hearts. They can be boiled, steamed, sauteed, or baked.

Ingredients needed to make Frozen Artichoke Hearts Recipe
The ingredients needed to make this Frozen Artichoke hearts recipe include the following:
- Frozen artichokes
- Ginger root
- Fresh garlic cloves
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic powder
Frozen artichoke hearts (whole)
At the heart of this recipe is the frozen artichoke hearts. This ingredient is what makes the base of the recipe. Alone artichoke hearts have a mild, nutty, and earthy flavor with a twinge of bitterness. Their tender meat is only elevated by the additional spices and roasting in the oven.
Fresh ginger
Peeled and grated fresh ginger has a sweet taste with a touch of citrus. It gives this recipe a warm, slightly spicy, and sweetness complementing the flavor of the artichokes.
Additionally, it is a good source of fiber and contains small amounts of the essential nutrients potassium, magnesium, and calcium
Fresh garlic cloves
Garlic is one of my favorite spices to use in recipes. It adds a strong savory flavor that mellows the earthiness of artichokes. It also helps subdue the spiciness of ginger making it more palatable for anyone who doesn’t like spicy food.
Garlic also contains antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
Extra virgin olive oil
Without extra virgin olive oil, the artichoke hearts would not get as crisp. This ingredient helps to carmelize the natural sugar in the artichokes making them crispy, sweet, and savory.
Olive oil is a great source of healthy fats and cooking with extra virgin olive also improves the quality of antioxidants in veggies. So adding this ingredient may amp up the nutrition of this recipe.
Garlic powder
I always say the more garlic the better. I love the combination of fresh garlic and garlic powder for a more intensified garlic flavor. This adds additional depth and flavor to the dish thanks to its ability to easily stick evenly on the artichoke hearts.
Like its fresh counterpart, garlic powder also contains antioxidants that deem it a nutritious addition to the recipe.
When working together these spices create a wonderful dish featuring crispy, seasoned, flavorful artichoke hearts.
