ARTICHOKE LEAF tea
Cynara scolymus
The Globe Artichoke, as it is most commonly known, is a member of the thistle family and is widely cultivated across Europe for its nutritive value and unique flavour. The part of the plant usually eaten is the flower bud, harvested before it goes into bloom. However, the leaf contains not only an equal nutritive value, but many other properties besides which can be bitter to taste and are revered by nutritionists as a digestive and good for stimulating the appetite.
The ancient Greeks were probably the first to start cultivating globe artichokes from the wild Cardoon. As far back as the 8th Century BC it was mentioned written about by Homer and Hesiod. As a Herbal infusion, Artichoke tea has a rich history of use and in South East Asia, Central America and Eastern Europe it is widely marketed in a tea form.
