Artichoke specialists

Despite being able to be tasted throughout the year, the artichoke is a vegetable that has its own ripening and harvesting season. 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. Specifically, the part that is usually kept is the heart of the artichoke, both whole and cut into halves. At Cynara we use a highly demanding selection process where fresh, healthy artichokes are selected that lack bumps and that present uniform color tones. This makes canned or fresh artichokes considered one of the vegetables with the greatest number of benefits for our health. 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. These studies have gone further, indicating that these nutritional and antioxidant properties of the artichoke in conservation are maintained for up to 18 months. 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. 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. 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. At Cynara, we are aware of the great benefits that artichokes provide, which is why we are committed to creating high-quality products with this healthy vegetable.

Previously, we have talked about the antioxidant properties of canned artichoke or its other variants, but there are many benefits that make it an especially advantageous food for diets focused on weight loss, since it has very few calories, it is rich in minerals, vitamins and fiber. The best canned artichokes, Cynara’s, will be of great help to lose weight if they are included in a balanced diet, since they are low in calories, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. They also have carbohydrates and a multitude of vitamins such as:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin B
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E

Important minerals for our body such as:

• Potassium
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus

Fat reduction

As it has practically no fat, one of the properties most valued by nutritionists is that it helps eliminate cholesterol and fight obesity.

Ability to satiate

By having a large amount of water and being rich in fiber, canned artichokes, or products made from fresh artichokes, help increase the feeling of fullness, which is very important to avoid eating more than we need.

Helps stop diabetes

Thanks to providing good amounts of inulin, an element that is metabolized as fructose and not as glucose, buying canned artichokes will help us improve blood circulation and avoid diseases such as diabetes.

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Due to its high antioxidant content, canned or canned artichokes are especially suitable for preventing heart disease, since their consumption lowers blood pressure.

Protection against some types of cancer

According to recent studies, it has been shown that the artichoke has properties that help fight some types of cancer such as colon cancer through the inulin that is extracted from this food.

Decreases fluid retention

Another of the great advantages of buying canned artichokes are their diuretic properties, which help eliminate excess fluids from our body, which helps reduce blood pressure and, as we have commented previously, helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.
