Love these artichokes. It is a good replacement for frozen artichoke hearts which are hard to find. I much prefer the artichokes in plain water rather than in oil so you can add your own seasoning depending on what you are cooking and add your own high quality olive oil if using for cooking or salads. I even eat them directly out of the jar and have put the on pizza.. They have a good firm texture. I am excited they are on intant savings and planning on buying multiples.

I love these. They are great for cooking with mushrooms, bacon, and spinach. However, that's a worthless review if you can't buy them in the store or online. They've not been on the shelf in the Winterville, N.C. store for nearly a year, or on the shelf. What gives?

These artichoke hearts are really good in recipes (dip, pizza, etc.) and our kids love them right out of the jar (for them softer is better!). I read the other reviews and wanted to mention a couple of tips so hopefully the product wouldn't be so disappointing to buyers...once opened, artichoke hearts should be consumed in 3-4 days. For longer storage you can freeze them. After that, they're really only good used in recipes (though my oldest child will squeeze the liquid out of them and eat them thawed lol.) As far as the jar opening issue-we had that too! If you hold the jar sideways under very hot tap water for a minute or so (the stream of water should run over the seam of the lid), the lid will be able to be opened easily. I use a lid gripping thing that helps since I'm a small female, but I can now open the jars without my husband's help (which is a relief for him b/c he totally hated opening them before!) :) So we give the product 5 stars since it's healthy and they taste great in recipes AND the price is good on them too.

They are sealed well. These are perfect for salads or to just throw into a dish. Remember, you will have to drain them before you put them into a salad. That should be a gimmie. If you open them you should use them within a couple of weeks. I put them in my pasta salad. They are very good.

absolutely love them!

These artichoke hearts are very good! And I love the fact that they are packed in water, not oil.

It's okay, not bad, not good, just okay. Mediocre. Meh!

I purchased it and first time I ate out of it, the artichokes were fine. Second time I went for it, the artichokes disintegrate. It was gross!

These are not that great. Once opened they don't last long in fridge, they get soggy after a week. I do love the Jar though, use it for pickled eggs.

We love this product and it is very good value, but we cannot continue to purchase it because it is nearly impossible to get the jars open. Even using heat and a "gilhoolie" jar opener we are exasperated with the difficulty in opening the jars.
