Botanical Name: Cynara cardunculus or Cynara scolymus
Country of Origin: Mediterranean
Also Known As: Artichoke Leaf, Globe Artichoke Leaf, Cynara scolymus Leaf
Part Used: Dried leaves of Cynara scolymus
Description: Artichoke Leaves are sourced from Cynara scolymus, a perennial plant traditionally cultivated in Mediterranean regions and now grown in various temperate climates worldwide. The plant is recognized for its large, deeply lobed leaves and distinctive flower heads. Once dried and processed, the leaves display a muted green to olive-brown colour with a naturally fibrous texture typical of dried botanical leaf material.
Production begins with harvesting fully developed leaves from mature plants. The leaves are thoroughly cleaned to remove natural field debris and then dried under controlled conditions to preserve their colour and structural integrity. Drying reduces moisture and allows the plant material to maintain its natural shape without becoming overly brittle. Once dried, the leaves are inspected and cut into uniform pieces, resulting in a consistent leaf product free from additives or additional processing steps. The final material retains the botanical qualities, shape, and appearance of the original plant leaves.
Uses: Artichoke Leaves are used in crafting, botanical displays, potpourri mixtures, and educational projects that highlight plant-based materials. Their natural colour and textured leaf structure make them suitable for decorative blends, herb arrangements, and creative applications requiring dried foliage. The cut leaves can also be incorporated into conceptual formulations or artistic projects where botanical identity and visual presence are important.
Their stable dried form and characteristic leaf appearance make them a versatile ingredient for a variety of aesthetic and craft uses.
Storage: Put the bag in the refrigerator -- if possible, place them in the coldest part of your fridge,
