Cardoon (aka. Wild Artichoke, Artichoke Thistle) Cynara cardunculus Item #: HERBS007 Cardoon is a very old fashioned herb/vegetable that was brought to the United States by the Quakers in the 1790's, but its history extends much further back. The author Dodoens, in his book, "The History of Plants" described it in 1559 but said that Cardoon's cultivation for food was less than that of the Artichoke. Pliny (AD 23 - AD 79) wrote of Cardoon's medicinal properties. Cardoon is a relative of the artichoke, and in fact, is also known under the names of Wild Artichoke and Artichoke Thistle, but there is some argument amongst botanists, as to whether Cardoon is merely a variety of the artichoke or a completely distinct species. For culinary use, unlike the artichoke where the flower heads are eaten, with Cardoon, it is the thick leaf bases, hearts and roots which are utilized for food and harvested in the early spring to early summer months. Cardoon can be used in soups, stews and salads and has a slightly spicy, celery-like flavor similiar to Artichoke hearts. Much of Cardoon's lack of popularity is due to the fact that like the artichoke, a tremendous amount of space is required to grow them. Cardoon can grow up to 7 feet in height and is very evasive in most climates. Care should be taken to remove the flower heads of the plant before they produce seeds, for Cardoon can agressively naturalize throughout your property. Cardoon is also an excellent crop for producing compost due to the large amount of fibrous leaves and stalks it produces. Matures in 100 to 150 days and can remain productive for 5 to 7 years.
