CentoArtichoke Bottoms, 14-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

The dented cans were placed in the Cento box which was in perfect condition, they were not damaged in transit but shipped that way.

I originally purchased this item on 2/8/2022. It had an expiration date of 10/2025. When I made my most recent purchase the expiration date is 9/2024 which is a full year earlier. This means that they are shipping old merchandise. Yes, I will probably use it up before it expires but I like to receive the freshest items possible which is why I gave it only three stars.

great flavor color and fresh

Great flavor. Easy to top with stuffing. A good low calorie appetizer

Good quality & flavor.

These are disgusting. Let me explain: I love artichokes. I love artichoke bottoms the best of all because they are usually all the tender bits with no choke. This product however, is not prepared properly. In the one can that I opened, the artichokes still have green on them and there is plenty of hard stem that was not removed or peeled off rhe product. They taste like a sour can, with a distinctive bad flavor. I would have liked to return the rest of the cans in this over $40 purchase, but received a note that said the item was intelligible for return. I will not ever be purchasing this brand in the future.

On Subscribe and Save these are a very good value. They are very tasty and surprisingly not very salty at all. I rinse them off as a rule, but they really don't need it. I like just snacking on them instead of sweets, each can (not each serving--each CAN)is 90 calories, can't beat that. You can really tell the difference between brands when, as I needed to do, I had to use up one can of another brand in my pantry to add to the three cans of Cento I was using in a recipe. I noticed that many of the outer leaves were tougher and more fibrous, inedible. Cento brand artichokes are tender. I like them in salads and on top of homemade pizzas. I noticed that each 'quarter' is sliced at the perfect size to use as is in salads and on pizza. Sometimes the quarters are bulkier and I have to cut them in half to use them. This is ready to go. I also appreciate the pull-tab opening, no can opener to dig out of the drawer. I have placed a second order to keep them handy.

The artichoke bottom is really the only part worth eating. It is firm, meaty and flavorful.Things sold as "hearts" are usually 80% small fibrous leaves and a tiny bit of "heart"You can serve these bottoms as a steamed vegetable, or deep fried or marinated in salads.This brand is good. There are an average of 7 bottoms per can.Warning. These can be tough and don't seem to be fully cooked during processing so I steam them for 10-12 minutes before serving with butter or marinating for salad and appetizer.Nice to always have some around.
