ARTICHOKES: A SUPERFOOD FOR ACNE...

ACNE THERAPIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Artichokes are a superfood for acne! As a clear-skin food, artichokes are highly beneficial in helping the liver to detoxify harmful substances that promote acne and other skin conditions.

After experiencing the nasty smell and flavor of an steamed artichoke that had been previously frozen raw, I did a couple of experiements to figure out if there was a way of freezing an artichoke that would maintain the flavor. Here are some tips:

The trick is to steam your artichokes before you freeze them! After steaming, rest the artichoke upside down to drain completely. Wrap in foil, place in freezer bag and freeze. When it comes time to thaw and eat, remove the outer most ring of leaves and blanch for approximately 5 to 7 minutes. To avoid additional toxins, which are commonly stored in fat, use organic butter.
