Artichoke
Artichokes come from the artichoke plant, a perennial plant from the Asteraceae family. Both the plant itself and its edible green cocoon-shaped produce are called artichoke.
Artichokes are perennial plants that grow back every year if they haven’t suffered any type of damage from extreme cold or heat.
They are formed by large stalks, which sprout segmented green leaves as well as the artichoke vegetable itself.
This vegetable is oval-shaped and is formed by leathery bracts (fleshy and edible leaves) which are green in colour, very thick and overlap each other.
