  • About

When an artichoke plant produces lots of buds, the farmer will often cut some of them off while they’re still small, so the plant’s energy can go into growing the remaining buds to full size. These young artichokes don’t need to be trimmed and are often just sliced and eaten raw; they’re also preserved in oil and exported around the world. If you can’t find Sardinian baby artichokes, use the best-quality preserved artichokes you can.
