    Cardoon is a culinary specialty originating in the Mediterranean.

    Cardoon is related to the globe artichoke but is cultivated for its artichoke-flavored leaf stems rather than flower buds.

    The plant's ribs are blanched before harvest to protect the edible, innermost stalks from light and promote tenderness.

    Cardoon is also grown ornamentally for its stately appearance, large purple flowers and plumes of spiky, silvery-green leaves.

    Artichoke-flavored leaf stalks. The leaf stalks and midrib of cardoon have a similar flavor to artichoke when boiled (not for eating raw). Both portions are commonly used as a side vegetable, an addition to stuffing, or in soups and stews. Cardoon must be blanched before it can be eaten.
