About Artichokes, (globe or french), cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) is actually the unopened flower bud of a large Mediterranean thistle, harvested before it blooms and eaten as a vegetable, with a close relative in the edible cardoon. Beneath its tough, scaly outer leaves lies the prize: the tender heart, along with the meaty base of each leaf that you scrape off with your teeth. Sizes range from big globe artichokes down to tender baby ones you can eat almost whole, and purple-tinged Italian varieties.

Artichokes are low in calories and high in fiber, folate, vitamin C, magnesium, and antioxidants, ranking among the most antioxidant-rich vegetables. They are steamed or boiled and served with melted butter, lemon, or aioli for dipping, while the hearts are roasted, grilled, marinated, or stirred into the classic spinach-artichoke dip. To eat a whole one, pull off the leaves one by one, then remove the fuzzy choke in the center before enjoying the heart.

Peak season runs through spring. Choose heavy, tight buds that squeak when squeezed and have fresh-looking stems, and store them unwashed in the refrigerator.
