Artichokes take a little effort when it comes to preparation and cooking but yield a mild, nutty flavor that compliments a variety of foods.

Artichokes are used for main dishes, side dishes, appetizers, and as an ingredient in dips and sauces. The versatility of the artichoke is limitless.

BUYING ARTICHOKES - Choose an artichoke that is compact and heavy for its size. Stay away from any that are slightly purple in color or budding. These are signs that the artichoke is over ripe. Many artichokes have brown patches on the leaves, these are usually just frost marks and are perfectly good to eat. Using good judgement is best when selecting any produce.

STORING ARTICHOKES - Artichokes can be stored for up to 5 days. Keep them in a plastic bag, lightly spray them with water and place in the crisper of the refrigerator. The quality will always be better if used within the first 2 days after being purchased.
