FROST KISSED ARTICHOKES

Artichokes from California's central coast and desert have a beautiful frost kiss. The frost causes the outer layer of the artichoke to turn brown, flake and peel when the temperature reaches below 32 degrees. Although the brownish color may not look pretty, frost kissed artichokes have a more intense nutty flavor. Once cooked, the brown disappears, leaving a delicious green artichoke! Available for a limited time.

Following a freeze, artichoke plants take two to three weeks to start producing "Frost Free" artichokes again.
