One
of the simplest and tastiest products that we experienced at the Natural Products Expo West were the elegant and exquisite artichoke hearts of Monterey Farms.
With over
25 years of experience Monterey Farms is a small locally owned and operated
manufacturer located in Salinas, California. They are situated on the scenic Monterey Peninsula, less
than 15 minutes from Castroville, “The Artichoke Capital of the World.” Because of their close proximity to the
nation’s most notable artichoke fields, Monterey farms is afforded access
to the freshest
artichokes available.
Monterey Farms artichokes are made with all-natural ingredients and their taste, texture
and quality is that of a cooked artichoke fresh from the field. Their
proprietary process of sealing the arti hearts promotes the natural value and
health benefits of the artichoke, giving a chef a unique and graceful alternative
to the canned or jarred artichoke products.
Monterey
Farms offers artichoke hearts that are available
in 4 divine and distinct flavors. Along
with classics such as Grilled ArtiHearts and Natural ArtiHearts, Monterey Farms
offer a few other fun flavors that were total winners! My favorite were their Buffalo
ArtiHearts which are tossed in a traditional Buffalo style sauce, then grilled
for a rich, spicy, full body flavor.
For the Vegetarian and Vegans in the room (moi) they’re a delicious meat
alternative to Buffalo style chicken wings! Buffolo ArtiHearts can be served either warm or lightly
breaded; either way they are a savory Yummm!
Monterey
Farms artichokes are available at Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market,
Wegman's, and HEB Markets.
