H E L P I have never had an artichoke heart what the heck do you do with them?

Liz, look in some Italian cookbooks about the artichoke. It's a little unusual, but, I think, very tasty. I've had it in appetizers and in pasta dishes. It's often included in antipasti platters and on brushcetta.

Artichokes are NOT high in calories.The quartered artichokes in a jar have only 7 calories per serving and no fat or cholesterol.You can even eat the whole 12 oz jar and it's still only 84 calories.

This is all very true yet a little known fruit fruit from the rainforest may blow away anything mentioned, it's called Mangosteen or Mangoteen, either. It has alot of websites to read about it and alot of studies, anyone should google it and try it.
Studies on all fruits of the world vary in funding something not commonly known to the tv indulged American.

Ruth asked, "Where do you find blackberries in the off season? I would love to eat them year around." Giant and Safeway carry frozen blackberries year round.

Artichokes are so easy and low in calories. We've enjoyed them my whole life, and not the jarred hearts either! We usually just steam and enjoy them with vinegarette. It's a bit more work, but so delicious. I actually like mine plain without any dressing.

Not everyone looking for great antioxidants is yet committed to a completely healthy diet. For those of you like me, quarte or slice a half dozen artichoke hearts and throw them in your spaghetti sauce the last ten minutes of cooking. They are tender and cook quickly. I fear that long cooking may neutralize the antioxident benifit.
