Fiber, vitamins, minerals, protein and even chlorogenic acid are some of the nutrients that are present in the hearts of canned artichokes, elements that help prevent cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, etc. In summary, the artichoke, whether in a fresh or natural state, in conservation or even frozen, is a vegetable that must be taken into account for its indisputable benefits for the health of our body. Which speaks extraordinarily well of the quality of the product from when it is harvested until it goes through all the processes that give rise to the final product, the canned artichokes. These studies have gone further, indicating that these nutritional and antioxidant properties of the artichoke in conservation are maintained for up to 18 months. Recent studies have confirmed that processed artichoke provides the same nutrients and benefits for our body as raw or natural, so the antioxidant benefits it provides are not reduced. This makes canned or fresh artichokes considered one of the vegetables with the greatest number of benefits for our health. At Cynara we use a highly demanding selection process where fresh, healthy artichokes are selected that lack bumps and that present uniform color tones. Specifically, the part that is usually kept is the heart of the artichoke, both whole and cut into halves.

Thanks to industrialization, the artichoke, through its conservation method, has been able to be part of our diet in all kinds of recipes at all times of the year. Despite being able to be tasted throughout the year, the artichoke is a vegetable that has its own ripening and harvesting season.
