I have passed this pizza place so often but never went in but as it was the only place serving artichoke pizza in this weather it was the only option and what a find: Kiabacca, 639 10th Avenue
This was an amazing pizza - All Choked Up a white pie with artichoke hearts, spinach, pancetta, feta, fresh mozzarella, garlic infused olive oil.
As for artichokes themselves well according to the California Artichoke Advisory Board, artichokes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate and magnesium. The antioxidants in artichokes are very good for your liver and help promote healthy skin. Artichokes are also high in fiber, calcium and protein while low in calories. For all of these reasons, along with being fat-free and cholesterol free, artichokes are truly a healthy and delicious food to celebrate, though maybe not in the way I had them especially with a cider or two on the side !!!!
- The total antioxidant capacity of an artichoke flower head is one of the highest reported for vegetables.
- The fleshy base of the artichoke is perhaps the most enjoyably edible part of this oddly-shaped vegetable.
- You can find artichoke hearts that are packed in vinegar, oil or marinade and canned.
- They make for a great low sodium snack and lend themselves well to other snacks like artichoke dip, as well as a pizza topping.
- Toss them in the skillet for a savory sauté.
- They might just turn into a healthy addiction!
- California is known as the artichoke capital of the world. They supply nearly 100% of North American fresh artichokes.
