Good for You, and Good, Too

Artichokes are supposed to be good for you. They’re a good source of vitamins C and K. They’re packed with folate and antioxidants. And they taste great. They can be kind of a pain to prepare, but a company called Émoi Foods is making some spreads and dips that make artichokes easy to enjoy. Émoi’s Artichoke and Quinoa Spread and Dip includes artichoke, quinoa, onion, vinegar, salt, garlic, and spices. Émoi also has a similar spread and dip minus the quinoa. Both are delicious and both are available at Food Works, 450 Boston Post Road, Guilford and 940 Boston Post Road, Old Saybrook.
