The top artichoke producers today are Spain, France, and Italy. It wasn't until the 20th century that artichokes were grown in the United States. California now produces 100% of the United States artichoke crop, with Castroville, California, calling itself the "Artichoke Center of the World."

Our Canned Artichokes are specially sourced to ensure the tenderness, color, and quality required for a successful presentation. Artichoke hearts are the interior, center of the artichoke, which has a fresh light yellow/green color.
