How to Eat

To eat a good artichoke, you must first have absolute patience. First cut off the head of the artichoke to reveal the white stuff inside. Do not cut off too much; at the same time cut off a piece of the artichoke root, leaving 1-2cm is enough. Then use scissors to cut off all the tips of the leaves wrapped in his skin; the hard leaves at the bottom can just be removed. You can apply a layer of lemon juice to the mouth of the cut leaves to prevent them from oxidizing and discoloring. Boil the processed artichokes in water. You can put some salt in the water for 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your artichokes. The cooked artichokes will turn from green to dark green or brown and then they are ready to eat. To eat, peel off the leaves of the artichoke one by one. You can choose what sauce to dip them in according to your taste. Instead of chewing and eating the leaves of the artichoke, use your teeth to scrape out the edible part of the leaf and eat it. After eating the whole leaf on the outside, it's time to eat the most delicate and delicious part on the inside. Remove the inner white layer first, then scoop it out with a spoon to get the most flavorful part of the artichoke.
