Baby Artichokes are roughly 5 centimeters in diameter when harvested. Their tender firm leaves form a compact floret with pistachio and lime green tones throughout. Baby Artichokes are nearly chokeless, though they will still contain needle-like thorns on the tips of the artichoke's outer leaves. A raw Baby Artichoke is crisp, slightly bitter, tanic and nutty. When cooked, Baby Artichokes develop flavors of toasted nuts, dry grass and caramel.
