Grown as annuals in the Northeast rather than long-lived perennials, they produce beautiful compact green and purple heads with exceptionally concentrated flavor, remarkably tender leaves, and a much smaller choke surrounding a generous, richly flavored heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are artichokes for people who truly love artichokes. Their smaller size isn't a compromise—it's part of what makes them so special. Much of each artichoke is edible, with tender leaves leading to one of the finest hearts you'll ever taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a fresh product for eating. We do not sell seeds or plant stock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Are They Smaller?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike California, where Globe artichokes are perennial plants that continue producing for several years, artichokes in the Northeast must be planted each spring and grown as annuals. Because the plants have only one growing season to mature, they naturally produce smaller heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a completely different eating experience. Rather than oversized artichokes with thick leaves and a large fuzzy choke, our artichokes are compact, more tender, and packed with flavor. The choke is noticeably smaller, the leaves are more delicate, and a greater proportion of each artichoke can be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGreen \u0026amp; Purple Varieties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe grow both traditional green and beautiful purple artichokes, each selected for exceptional eating quality rather than size. The green varieties offer the classic artichoke flavor people know and love, while the purple varieties are often even more intensely flavored with a richer, slightly sweeter, almost nutty character prized throughout Italy and southern France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Do They Taste Like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth varieties have a rich, nutty flavor with subtle sweetness, earthy complexity, and a delicate buttery finish. The fleshy bases of the leaves become wonderfully tender when cooked, while the heart is sweet, creamy, and widely considered one of the world's great vegetable delicacies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Cook Organic Artichokes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam whole and serve with melted butter or aioli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrill after par-cooking for smoky, caramelized flavor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlice into pasta, risotto, or warm vegetable dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe alongside grilled fish, chicken, or lamb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey pair beautifully with extra virgin olive oil, lemon, garlic, parsley, thyme, butter, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, and fresh aioli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeasonal Availability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh organic artichokes are available only for a short period each summer.
