Frequently Asked Questions
How do you eat an artichoke?
Pull off outer leaves, dip the base in butter/sauce, and scrape off the soft flesh with your teeth. Remove the fuzzy choke in the center to reveal the tender heart - the most prized part.
Why do artichokes make water taste sweet?
Cynarin in artichokes temporarily blocks sweetness receptors. When you drink water afterward, the receptors become unblocked, making the water taste sweet. This can affect wine pairing.
