Product Description:
The artichoke, common name of the cynaria scolymus, is a vegetable that belongs to the composite family. Of Mediterranean origin, practically unknown in the wild, it derives from selections of the thistle (Cardo Cardunculus). The stem (50 to 150 cm high) is straight and robust with longitudinal streaks, with large alternate leaves, of a more or less intense green color and in some cases gray in the upper part; the leaves have the characteristic of being rather thorny.
