Roasting Artichoke Globes takes the bitter tast away.
Artichoke Globes have a distinctive bitter taste. When it comes to taste, bigger is not always better. Larger artichoke globes tend to be tougher and have a stronger bitter taste. During the first year of production, artichoke globes will be very bitter compared to the following seasons. If you are looking for a sweeter tasting artichoke with less bitterness, the Italian Purple Violetto is a wise choice. It will produce dark purple globes during the first year and then a burgundy-green color the following seasons.
