The cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), also called the artichoke thistle, cardone, cardoni, carduni or cardi, is a thistle-like plant in the aster family. This huge thistle is a Mediterranean native and the ancestor of the globe artichoke, although some consider them to be the same species.
While the flower buds can be eaten much as the artichoke, more often the stems are eaten after being braised in cooking liquid. Cardoon leaf stalks, which look like large celery stalks, can be served steamed or braised, and have an artichoke-like flavor.
Cardoon has attracted recent attention as a possible source of biodiesel. The oil, extracted from the seeds of the cardoon, and called artichoke oil, is similar to safflower and sunflower oil in composition and use.
Perennial to Zone 6.
Each package of seeds comes with growing instructions.
