Content: I love them in a salad, but I would say the flavor is more "Water Chestnut" and less artichoke. Upvote (1)

I'll concur with the answers you've seen already. Readily available in supermarkets, most likely with the label stating "product of Brasil". Yes, the flavor is similar to jarred artichokes. Upvote
