Long Stem Purple Artichoke

Category
Artichokes

General Information
Baby purple artichokes are harvested on the stem, which can range from 18 to 22 inches in length. The stem is thick and offers a flavor similar to the artichoke heart. Baby purple artichokes have a dark purple outer layer of leaves that becomes lighter as you get closer to the heart.

 

Baby purple artichokes offer a sweeter artichoke flavor than the green variety, due to the darker pigmentation.
