Artichokes are an edible member of the thistle family and actually the immature bud of what would be a large sunflower-like bright purple blossom if not picked for consumption. The leaves have a slightly sweet, nutty flavor, while the heart of the artichoke is prized for its creamy-firm, meaty texture and delicate flavor. With origins in the Mediterranean regions of Italy and North Africa, the crop was introduced to the central coast of California in the 1920s, where the crop still flourishes exclusively and, in fact, supplies 100% of the unusual looking vegetable to the U.S. marketplace.
