Artichoke FAQs

What are artichokes?

The globe artichoke (also called the green artichoke or the French artichoke) is a species of thistle that's been cultivated to be edible.

When are artichokes in season?

Artichokes are at their peak from March through May, but they are often available year-round at grocery stores.

What part of the artichoke is edible?

The base of the leaves, the heart, and the stem of the artichoke are all edible. The inedible part is the fuzzy choke in the center at the base of the artichoke.

How to know if an artichoke is fresh?

Artichokes should be heavy for their size and should have a tight, compact head with closed leaves. Artichokes should be dry (if they are slimy they're rotting) and the leaves should be firm.

What to do with artichoke stems?

You can eat the stem of the artichoke if you peel it and boil it. It's a tender piece that tastes similar to the artichoke heart. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer and boil the stem.

What are baby artichokes?

Baby artichokes are chokes picked from the lower part of the plant. They are smaller than the regular artichoke head and with a little bit of trimming can be eaten whole, because they don't have the hairy choke inside of them.

Try these braised baby artichokes with mushrooms.

Are Jerusalem artichokes the same as artichokes?

Although they have artichoke in the name Jerusalem artichokes (also called sunchokes) are not artichokes. They are an edible root vegetable first cultivated in North America.
