National Artichoke Heart Day is a great day for women to flaunt their love of this once-forbidden fruit by 'eating its heart out.'
Artichokes have been a favorite delicacy since antiquity, with references in Greek records dating back to nearly 400 BC.
Until the past two hundred years, artichokes women were banned from eating artichokes by the church and religious institutions. The flower was considered an aphrodisiac, and heaven forbid women feel frisky.
The most prized part of the artichoke is its heart, the soft center of the flower with a slightly nutty taste.
Over 140 types of artichokes exist, with around 40 cultivated commercially. California produces nearly 100% of America's commercial crops. Spain, France, and Italy are also significant producers.
