Care & HandlingKeep 'em cool
Keep ’Em Cool

Refrigerate at 34° F. (0° C). No higher than 38° F. OK to “top ice.”

Display 'em cool
Display ’Em Cool

Stack your artichokes on refrigerated shelves, but not too high. For more shelf life, place them stems-down in shaved ice.

Put 'em to bed at night
Put ’Em To BedAt Night

For longer life. Put your artichokes back in refrigerated storage for less shrink and better profit – whenever they’ve been on an open unrefrigerated display.

Spruce 'em up
Spruce ’Em Up!

Keep your artichokes looking their best. Remove damaged or discolored leaves. Trim stems only once! Too much trimming dehydrates the bud.

Keep 'em moist
Keep ’Em Moist

Keep them cool and keep the humidity at 95%. Remember: keep cold – warmth plus water equals decay.

Keep stocks up
Keep Stocks Up

And move ’em out with beautiful, bountiful displays. Consumers are attracted to big displays. Low stock means “he best are gone.”
