Nice to know

Artichokes are big, closed scaly flower buds from a species of thistles. The artichoke was already a beloved delicacy with the Egyptians and Romans. Until the 18th century, consuming artichokes was regarded as a sign of wealth. Even now the artichoke is still considered a delicacy. The taste is soft towards slightly bitter. The artichoke also looks very stylish when presented on a plate.

Treat your guests with a spring dish!
