Description

To gauge an artichokes freshness, look for a stem thats intact and green rather than brown or missing, as the stem is the first part of the vegetable to rot. A good artichoke looks like a closed bud. As the petals open, the flesh grows tougher. You can store a nice tight artichoke in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator for up to a week before cooking it.
