How to Cook Artichokes: Baby Artichokes
A baby artichoke is not a different variety than a regular artichoke. It’s just a smaller and fully mature version of the traditional artichoke. Baby artichokes availability can vary throughout the year, with the spring season being the traditional peak season for this size artichoke.
Baby artichokes are fun because with just a little trimming, you can eat the whole thing. Its petite size comes from being picked from the lower part of the plant. Baby artichokes are also easy to prepare, cook and eat because they haven’t developed the fuzzy portion of the choke in the center.
