I think artichokes are the most underrated vegetable that exists. It was never a staple in my home, or any of my friends' homes growing up. Most people that I know eat it in dip. I bit the bullet and bought 2 back in May. I didn't know what I was going to do with them, but I knew I was going to do something!
I thought artichokes were a summer vegetable for a while, but according to Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, they are actually harvested from March through June and September through December. Artichokes are rich in fiber and anti-oxidants, and low in calories....
