Artichoke hearts Medium 18/24 counts

One liter of Medium hearts

The 1000 ml jar is the largest glass format in the In Brine range, and here it holds Medium hearts in 18/24 counts. It is a modest claim and an accurate one: not remarkable for size, but for exquisite flavor, and recognizable at a glance.

Ingredients

Artichoke hearts, water, salt and acidifier: citric acid. That is the whole list.

Nutritional table

Per 100 g, the table says 136 kJ / 32 kcal; 0 g of fat and 0 g of saturates; 5.0 g of carbohydrates, 1.0 g of them sugar; 2.0 g of dietary fiber; 2.0 g of protein; 0.70 g of salt.

Weight and logistics

Net weight: 935 g. Drained weight: 540 g. A case contains 6 jars and weighs 8.42 kg gross. A pallet takes 96 cases and weighs 833 kg gross.

Cooking at volume

With 540 g of drained artichokes, one jar is enough to feed a table, fill a platter or prepare several dishes in a row. More counts per jar means more individual pieces, so each portion can include a whole heart without anyone counting. It is a practical way to keep the jar open for a few meals while you vary what accompanies the artichokes.

The hearts are hand-picked, which keeps the character of each variety, and the production process is delicate to retain authenticity, the same way as in the small jars.

For a table where artichokes are a regular guest, this is the format that makes the most sense. The jar travels from the cupboard to the counter and back again, and the contents stay the same simple recipe: hearts, water, salt and citric acid.

Compared with the other 1000 ml jar

A second 1000 ml jar of Medium hearts has fewer counts. The recipe and nutrition table are the same. The difference is the size of each piece: here, with more counts, the hearts are smaller. It is sold as Individuals, so it targets households that use plenty of artichoke.
