"Romanesco"
ROMANESCO ARTICHOKE (C. cardunculus) is an Italian heirloom native to the Romagna region. Excellent large heads with flavorful bronze and purple tinged globes that are large and tender. Also an extremely decorative perennial that many include in their mixed perennial beds. Artichokes or "chokes" as they are commonly called, are a member of the thistle family native to the Mediterranean. Artichokes date back thousands of years and were referenced in Greek mythology as a sensuous vegetable favoured by the gods. It has also been a favourite of aristocrats and affluent members of society. The Artichokes we eat are the immature flower bud of the plant which is called the "heart". Usually steamed, they can also be eaten raw or cooked. The heart, or center of the bud, is eaten along with the tender bottom edges of the outer leaves. The stem is also edible and best cut an inch or so below the bud. Although artichokes grow wild in southern Europe.
