Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Hearts of Palm Use 1:1 by volume for cold dishes; drain and slice if needed.
  • 1 cup Frozen or Canned Artichoke Hearts Use 1:1 by volume; rinse canned to remove excess salt.
  • 1 cup Baby Artichokes Use 1:1 volume; clean, trim leaves, quarter before cooking.
  • 1 cup Jerusalem Artichoke (Sunchoke) Use 1:1 by volume; slice thin before cooking.
  • 1 cup Canned Asparagus Tips Use 1:1 by volume for cold dishes; drain and pat dry before use.

Method
 

  1. Select the substitute based on your dish type—raw (salads/dips) or cooked (pastas/casseroles).
  2. Prep the substitute by draining, slicing, trimming, or rinsing to match desired texture.
  3. Replace artichoke hearts with your chosen substitute using a 1:1 volume ratio, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  4. Taste and check the texture before serving, especially if using earthier or softer options.

Notes

  • Hearts of palm are best for cold dishes as they soften quickly with heat.
  • Rinse canned artichokes and asparagus tips to remove excess salt and liquid.
  • Jerusalem artichokes add earthier flavor; adjust seasoning accordingly.
