Artichokes with stem are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. These artichokes are harvested when they are young and tender, with a firm texture and a mild, nutty flavor. The stems are left intact, providing a slightly sweeter taste and tender texture that can be used in soups, stews, and stir-fries. They are also great for pickling, preserving, and grilling.
