Artichoke hearts Less salt Baby 8/12 counts

Baby hearts for a lower-salt kitchen

This jar sits in the In Brine range and is meant for anyone who wants to cut back on salt without giving up artichokes. The hearts are Baby size, 8/12 counts, packed in a 212 ml glass jar. We put it with a wink: they may not heal a broken heart, but a low-salt diet can help regulate blood pressure.

What goes in the jar

Four items on the label: artichoke hearts, water, salt and an acidifier, which is citric acid. The In Brine family is Cynara's widest, and the hearts are hand-picked, with the artichokes carefully selected to keep the character of each variety.

Nutrition per 100 g

Energy comes to 136 kJ / 28 kcal. Fat is 0 g, with 0 g of saturates. Carbohydrates are 5.0 g, of which sugar is 1.0 g. Dietary fiber is 2.0 g, protein 2.0 g and salt 0.50 g, the figure that sets this jar apart from the regular Baby 8/12.

Ways to use it

Baby hearts are quick to work into everyday dishes. Pile them into the Bacon, lettucce, artichoke and tomato sandwich, or chop a few into the Diner style cheeseburger with creamy artichoke relish. For something to share, there is the Russian salad with Cynara artichokes, potatoes, piquillo pepper and sardine mayonnaise.

Pack details

The jar holds 190 g net and 115 g drained. Cases contain 6 units and a pallet carries 493 cases. It is an Individuals product, sold for home cooking rather than for catering.

The comparison is simple. The recipe, the jar and the count are those of the regular Baby 8/12; the reduction in salt is the change, and it is visible in the table above. If you cook with the jar for sandwiches, burgers or a shared salad, you keep the same artichoke character on the plate.

Who it is for

Shoppers who read the nutrition table and want to keep the salt number low while still getting the intense flavor of Baby artichokes.
