About the Holiday

National Artichoke Hearts Day celebrates this edible flower in the sunflower family. Artichokes originated in the Mediterranean. 80% of artichokes grown in the U.S. come from Castroville, California. Artichokes are low in sodium and high in fiber. They can be bought fresh or in a can or jar and are a key ingredient in the popular spinach/artichoke dip.
