Pencas come from artichoke shoots. During growth, the stems are covered so that they grow white. Although they resemble cardoon, they are described as more tender and with a milder flavour. Their season is winter and they are used as an ingredient in stews and other traditional dishes. These Pencas are of Spanish origin, Escaleta variety, size M and EXTR category. They are presented in a bunch. The sales information states «Peso por manojo: 0,000 Kg» and «El kg le sale a: 4.95€».

The description highlights their water and fibre content, as well as the presence of vitamins C and B3 and minerals such as calcium and iron. It also indicates a low contribution of calories, carbohydrates and proteins, although it does not provide a nutrition table with quantified values. No specific storage conditions are indicated.
