Artichokes Green Globe

Artichoke 'Green Globe' (Cynara scolymus 'Green Globe') is a robust and visually striking perennial vegetable, highly prized for its large, edible flower buds and its architectural presence in the garden. This classic variety produces generous, rounded, deep green heads with thick, fleshy scales and a tender, succulent heart. Thriving in the suitable climates of South Africa, 'Green Globe' artichokes are a culinary delight, offering a unique mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavour. They are incredibly versatile in the kitchen, typically enjoyed steamed or boiled until tender, then served with melted butter or a dipping sauce. The tender bases of the outer bracts and the prized heart are the primary edible parts, often grilled, baked, or added to salads and pasta dishes, making them a gourmet addition to any meal.
