artichoke

The globe artichoke, French artichoke or green artichoke, is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food.
The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), also known as French artichoke and green artichoke in the USA, is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food.
The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom. The budding artichoke flower-head is a cluster of many budding small flowers (an inflorescence), together with many bracts, on an edible base. Once the buds bloom, the structure changes to a coarse, barely edible form. Another variety of the same species is the cardoon, a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region.

    Jarred artichoke hearts

    I bought these artichoke hearts today, packed in water: There’s a stern warning on the reverse that says once opened, they must be consumed within a mere three days. I don’t really cook or make anything with artichokes - I can honestly say this is probably just the third time I’ve ever...
