Valencian Artichoke — tender, fresh, direct from the farm

Artichokes are not only tasty, but they are also an excellent source of essential nutrients such as:

• fiber, which promotes healthy digestion and helps keep weight under control;
• vitamins A, C, E and K; as well as,
• folic acid, magnesium and potassium.

These nutrients are essential for strengthening the immune system, improving bone health and maintaining a healthy heart.

Perhaps one of the characteristics for which it is most consumed is its ability to detoxify the body. Artichokes contain compounds that stimulate the production of bile in the liver, essential for eliminating toxins and fats from the body. All this promotes liver health and improves digestion in general.

Artichokes are also known for their diuretic properties, which means that they help eliminate excess fluids from the body. In addition, their low calorie and low fat content makes them an ideal choice for maintaining a balanced diet.

Artichokes are one of the most traditional crops in the Valencian orchard, that is, it is part of our diet. And, as we know all the good things they bring, we wanted to offer it so that everyone could enjoy both how healthy they are and their flavor.

The history of artichoke production in the orchard of Valencia is closely linked to local culture and traditions. For centuries, farming families have cultivated and harvested them, becoming the protagonist of festivals, gastronomic events and typical dishes of the region.

The combination of a favorable climate, rich soil and the farmers' ancestral knowledge has resulted in artichokes of high quality and recognition. The orchard of Valencia continues to be a benchmark in the production of this vegetable, keeping alive the tradition and legacy of generations dedicated to cultivating and harvesting this gastronomic treasure.

Today, there are still many small growers coming from families of lifelong farmers, like us, who are the ones who grow the artichokes we offer.

As we have said before, artichokes are a very typical product of the Valencian orchard and it is also one of the healthiest products. As it is part of our diet, we are used to take it in many ways.

You can eat artichokes boiled, add them to a meat or fish stew, grilled, in paella.... Yes, it is a typical ingredient of the Valencian paella made in the houses of the orchard during the artichoke season.

My favorite is in an omelet, not only because of its flavor, but also because I remember my mother telling me how when she was little my grandmother used to make an artichoke omelet for Easter.

There are usually between 5 and 7 artichokes per kilo, depending on the size of the artichokes in season.
