About Globe artichoke

Globe artichoke is the immature flower head of a thistle-like vegetable. It is sold whole, fresh or preserved, and consists of overlapping green or purple bracts surrounding a central choke and a fleshy base, or heart.

The edible portions are the tender bract bases and the heart after the fibrous choke is removed. Globe artichokes are commonly boiled, steamed, baked, or grilled; their flavour is gently earthy and slightly sweet, while the cooked heart is tender and the bracts are more fibrous.
