FYI – Artichokes
Artichokes at the market last week were .79¢ each but they had Brown spots on their leaves and did not/would not sell.
Today I went in and they were On Sale – 4 for $1.00 – I bought them all (12)
Out of Staters – New Bees - what Dummies - -
The BEST Artichokes are the ones “Kiss By Frost” – that make the outside leaves have Brown Spots.
Californians Know:
Winter artichokes are more conical in shape. Some winter chokes may be touched by frost (frost kissed) and have a light bronze to brown tint to the outer leaves. Artichoke fans prefer the winter kissed artichokes for the enhanced nutty, rich flavor. The winter artichokes do revert to their grey-green color when cooked.
