This weekend we visited a Laiki agora, known as a peoples market or a farmers/ street market. They often contain organic fruits and veggies. These types of markets are very common in Greece as they are an important part of the robust Greek social culture.

In today’s market, we came across some delicious fresh artichokes (Cynara cardunculus), which are available in season. The artichoke is known as one of the Greek superfoods as it is high in antioxidants and rich in vitamins.

Do you cook with artichokes? Please share your recipes with us!
