artichokes
Hearts with leaves
Artichokes is the plural of artichoke, a thistle-like plant cultivated for its large edible flower bud.
The globe artichoke has tough outer leaves surrounding a tender heart; eating one involves peeling away layers to reach the prized center.
We had steamed artichokes with butter.
Jerusalem artichokes are unrelated—a type of sunflower grown for its knobby tuber.
