Artichoke General Information
The Artichoke / Globe Artichoke were originally harvested in Naples around the middle of the 15th Century. It has been said that Catherine de Medici (Queen of France) introduced it to France in the 16th Century. The Dutch are responsible for England knowing about the Artichoke, where they were growing in Henry VIII’s garden at Newhall in 1530. The United States did not see them until the 19th Century and that was by the French immigrants to Louisiana. The Spanish immigrants introduced the Artichoke to California around the same time period. The name appears to have started with the Arabic ardi shauk (“ground thorn”), through the Italian, articiocco. Though the Artichoke was not spread through Europe until the 15th Century, the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians used the Artichoke for food and medicine.

The Globe Artichoke has become important as a medicinal herb in recent years following the discovery of cynarin. This bitter-tasting compound, which is found in the leaves helps with many different things. A study done in 2000 stated that IBS (irritable bowels syndrome) patients found the Artichoke leaf extract to be better than or at least equal to medicine or therapy they had taken before. Research in 2002 was about antioxidant effects of Artichoke extracts and found “marked protective properties against oxidative stress induced by inflammatory mediators…” The research on the Artichoke is abundant and outstanding. Here is some of the ailments that the Artichoke is used for, or can help assist with:
