🛍 Product Information :
Beauval artichoke, also known as the "Violet of Provence," is a unique variety native to the Mediterranean region of France. It is smaller and more slender than the common spherical artichoke, with tightly packed bracts that are purplish-green.
Poivrade artichoke (also known as baby purple artichoke or petite artichoke Poivrade) is a small, early-season variety of artichoke originating from the Mediterranean regions of France, particularly Provence and Brittany.
Typically measuring only 4–6 cm in diameter, it features a striking deep purple color from stem to bracts. Unlike larger artichokes, Poivrade heads are almost entirely edible with little to no fuzzy choke inside, offering a tender, delicate texture and a subtle nutty-sweet flavor without bitterness.
Due to its limited harvest window (mainly late spring to early summer) and low yield, it is considered a premium, seasonal delicacy. Chefs prize it for raw preparations in salads, quick blanching with olive oil, light sautéing, or grilling as an elegant appetizer or side dish—frequently appearing on Michelin-starred menus when in season.
Bauval artichokes are highly prized for their tender texture. The entire artichoke, including most of the stem, can be eaten when young and is less likely to cause cramping. Its flavor is rich, with a nutty aroma, slightly more intense than larger varieties.
This artichoke is particularly suitable for quick cooking. Whether pan-fried, roasted whole, or prepared using the Barrigoule method, it is ideal. Due to its small size, it is also excellent for marinating, preserving, or grilling.
Supply period: only from April to May, November to December every year
Artichoke is a plant of the thistle family, so it is also called cardoon, artichoke or artichoke. In fact, it is a common ingredient in Italian cuisine and is known as the "king of vegetables" and "noble among vegetables" in Europe. Its skin is relatively hard, so most people eat the white fleshy part of the flower bud core or stem, which has a light taste and tastes a bit like Chinese yam.
It is recommended to keep in a refrigerated environment for longer storage. Use for Fruits, salad, cake and desserts. Storage can keep 3-4 weeks (refrigerated).
Recommended Dishes:
Artichoke can be eaten raw, pickled, boiled, stewed and grilled. It can be used as an appetizer, a first course and a second course.
*Notes Especially since the fruits came from afar from Sicily, some of Jennifer's fruits are directly purchased from small farmers. The locals like to harvest the fruits when they are ripe. No pesticides are applied to the organic fruits, and it is normal to have defects on the surface. We do not return or exchange products based on individual subjective factors (aroma, size, sweetness, etc.). However, if the fruit is damaged/damaged on a large scale, we are happy to make return/exchange arrangements based on the degree of damage to the fruit. Please contact our store via Whatsapp/phone within 24 hours and send us the photo of the fruit in question.
Artichoke contains the bioactive agents apigenin and luteolin.
The total antioxidant capacity of artichoke flower heads is one of the highest reported for vegetables.
Cynarine is a chemical constituent in Cynara. The majority of the cynarine found in artichoke is located in the pulp of the leaves, though dried leaves and stems of artichoke also contain it.
