how to steam an artichoke

Did you know? California winter frosts can yield “Frost Kissed” Artichokes. Frost causes the outer layer of the artichoke to turn brown, flake and peel, much like we do after getting sunburned. Although the brownish color may not look pretty, “Frost Kissed” artichokes taste delicious and actually have a more intense flavor than green, “Frost Free” artichokes. Frost enhances the flavor of the artichoke resulting in a nutty taste. Once cooked, the peeling disappears resulting in a delicious, green artichoke.
