Artichoke
The artichoke belongs to the Asteraceae family. This perennial vegetable plant is recognizable by its large, spiny leaves, which can grow up to 50 cm long. Artichokes grow in fairly moist, rich, well-drained soil. Native to Africa, it was introduced to France in the 16th century by Catherine de Medici. Today, it is cultivated in various regions of Europe.
