Artichoke hearts

[little_muffin]

I bought some artichoke hearts in a jar a few weeks ago for a planned meal which we ditched in favour of takeout, that was then this is now!

I have just checked the jar as I am planning for this week, can you please advise i can have;

sunflower oil, extra virgi olive oil, wine vinegar  (think that's the biggy!!!)

It's actually ok. Not great, mind you, ok. Here's the official take:

 

"Safflower/Sunflower Oil: Yes, reluctantly (because sometimes, you have to dine out)

While we don't think vegetable oils are a healthy choice (understatement of the century), we don't expressly rule them out on the Whole30. If we did, you'd never be able to eat outside of your own kitchen, because all restaurants use them in cooking. We wanted to create the healthiest program possible, but we also need it to be do-able for those who travel for business or pleasure, or simply want to dine out during the month.

Tip: Eliminate the consumption of vegetable oils at home, even if you're not on the Whole30, and make sure the rest of your diet is focused on the most nutritious choices possible, especially if you dine out frequently.

"Vinegar. Most forms of vinegar, including white, balsamic, apple cider, red wine, and rice, are allowed during your Whole30 program. The only exceptions are vinegars with added sugar, or malt vinegar, which generally contains gluten."
