Cynara cardunculus<\/i> subsp. flavescens<\/i> (syn: Cynara scolymus<\/i>), Globe Artichoke.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The edible portion of the buds consists primarily of the fleshy lower portions of the involucral bracts and the base, known as the “heart”; the mass of immature florets in the center of the bud is called the “choke”. These are inedible in older larger flowers.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
When harvesting, they are cut from the plant so as to leave an inch or two of stem. Artichokes possess good keeping qualities, frequently remaining quite fresh for two weeks or longer under average retail conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Apart from food use, the Globe Artichoke is also an attractive plant for its bright floral display, sometimes grown in herbaceous borders for its bold foliage and large purple flower heads.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
