Baby purple artichoke
The small, tender purple artichoke, to eat raw or barely seared.
The poivrade artichoke is a small purple artichoke harvested young, before the choke forms. Its tender bracts and fine heart can be eaten almost entirely. Its slightly bitter flavour and crisp flesh mean it can be served raw, thinly sliced on a mandoline, or briefly cooked. Available in bunches or cases depending on the number of pieces.
