Lyon Artichokes
Grower: Life’s a Choke
Description: The Lyon artichoke is the most imposing of all artichoke varieties, weighing in at an average of 1-2 pounds each. Its appearance is bold, its sharply tapered, thorned leaves forming a tight rounded floret. The Lyon has a long and dense roughly 7″ stem that when cooked is also quite edible. The most edible part of the Lyon artichoke is its heart. Its size qualifies it to have more heart than any other artichoke. Its flesh is dense and unequivocal in flavor and richness. When cooked the heart is sweet and nutty with notes of barley and butter. ………<<Read more about this item>>
