Melissa's Steamed Artichoke Hearts are a great pick if you're in the mood to try out new recipes and want to enjoy that fresh artichoke flavor. One of the perks here is they skip the citric acid you'd usually find in canned versions, so they taste pretty close to the real deal without that extra preservative taste. Our research shows that people appreciate the straightforward and natural ingredients.
The manufacturer mentions that these artichokes are vacuum-sealed to help lock in freshness and nutrition without needing those extra preservatives, which is perfect if you're into keeping things simple or if you're sensitive to acidic components. Just a heads-up, some findings noted a bit of fibrous texture here and there, but it's not a deal-breaker for most.
So, what can you make with them? Tons of tasty stuff! You could start with a classic artichoke dip—just blend them with cream cheese, parmesan, and garlic for a yummy appetizer.
Or, mix them into a Mediterranean-style salad with olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese, and top it off with olive oil and lemon juice.
They're also great tossed with pasta and a little lemon, giving you a fresh and zesty dish.
And don't forget about adding them to pizzas or flatbreads. They bring a nice texture and go well with mozzarella and herbs like basil or oregano.
You can throw them into a warm pie or slice them up for bruschetta toppings too.
