The artichoke has Arabic origins. The artichoke is native to the Mediterranean coast, probably from Sicily or Egypt or the Canary Islands.
According to mythology, it is said that the god Jupiter fell in love with Cynara, a beautiful blonde girl (ash-blonde), who rejected him, and to annoy her, he decided to transform her into Cynara Scolymus: into an artichoke.
It is known that the Romans and Greeks already consumed it, but it was thanks to Catherine de Medici, who loved them, that during the Middle Ages, she introduced it to the Italian court. Despite the belief that artichokes were aphrodisiac and not good to consume, she continued to do so and got doctors to accept it. At that time, it was very expensive and considered food for the rich.
In America, artichokes were introduced by the French in Louisiana and by the Spanish in California. They also spread to Chile and the Pampas of Argentina.
Artichokes belong to the family Asteraceae or Compositae and to the genus Cynara. They require a warm climate and are a seasonal plant (biennial and triennial). They can reach a height of 1-1.5 meters. They grow in calcareous, rich, neutral, deep, and warm soils.
