The artichoke is an ancient vegetable and medicinal plant from the Mediterranean region that has been cultivated since the first century. It arrived in France and England in the 15th century. Today it is valued not only as a food but also as a decorative plant in home gardens.

As a medicinal plant, it aids digestion, stimulates the liver and gall bladder, lowers cholesterol levels and stimulates the appetite. A tea made from the dried leaves utilises these health benefits.
