“Even artichokes have hearts.”
-Amélie Poulain
The History of Artichokes:
Artichokes are considered one of the world’s oldest foods. It’s believed that artichokes were cultivated by North African Moors around 800 AD, and that Saracens (Arabs) introduced them to Italy.
They were first harvested by people in the Middle East.
In the 1800’s, French immigrants brought artichokes to the U.S. in 1806 when they were settling the Louisiana territory. Spanish immigrants brought artichokes to California.
In modern day, 100% of the artichokes grown in the U.S. come from California.
