Artichokes

The globe artichoke, also known as French artichoke and green artichoke in the United States, is a cultivated species of thistle. The flower buds, before the flowers bloom, are the part of the plant that can be eaten. On an edible base, the blossoming artichoke flower-head is a cluster of several budding tiny flowers (an inflorescence) with many bracts. The structure of the buds changes to a gritty, barely edible shape as they bloom. The cardoon, a perennial plant endemic to the Mediterranean region, is another variant of the same genus. There are wild variants as well as developed varieties (cultivars).

Thanks to their fiber, micronutrient, and antioxidant content, artichokes may help promote health and prevent some diseases and conditions.
