About the Artichoke

An artichoke is a plump green vegetable that is actually the unopened flower bud of a kind of thistle. It is eaten leaf by leaf, pulling off the tender petals one at a time, with the soft heart saved for last. If it is left to grow, the bud would burst into a purple flower. Print this page for a garden or how-plants-grow lesson, tracing the layered bud down to the stem.
