Baby Artichokes

Commodity Overview

Baby artichokes are not a different variety from the larger ‘chokes. They are picked from the lower part of the plant where they are shaded from the sun, which stunts their growth. Baby artichokes are tender and are missing the choke, which often makes them more appealing to consumers.
