Product Use |
Artichokes, perennial plants of the thistle family (Asteraceae), are cultivated for their edible flower buds, harvested before blooming into purple flowers. Native to the Mediterranean, they are also grown in the US, France, Italy, and Spain. Propagation is through seeds, root divisions, or shoots. Artichokes thrive in well-drained, organic-rich soil, with ample sunlight and moderate climates. The plants can reach up to 6 feet tall and have large, serrated leaves. Harvesting occurs by hand when buds are approximately 3 inches in diameter. Post-harvest, artichokes are cooled for freshness and packed for shipping, with peak availability from March through May.
