In our sunny area of the north Adriatic the indigenous Istrian globe artichoke grows. It contains a pleasant-tasting bitter ingredient with medicinal properties. Fruits are harvested in May and early June. In order to keep growing artichokes every year we have to renew the plantations by vegetative propagation. In this way our forefathers have managed to preserve this variety all until the present day.
