Pkt (≈ 10 seeds)

These freshly harvested buds are sweet and delicate tasting with a tender texture. The "Globe" is the flower bud which includes many edible parts: freshly bases of the outer bracts, the receptable, the inner bracts, and portions of the floral stem. Artichokes are very ornamental in the garden. Their gray-green leaves contrast well with other plants.
