Carciofo Romanesco

The Roman artichoke has an ashy green colour, is spherical, compact with a characteristic hole at the apex.

According to Columella, a Roman agronomist of the first century AC, the land destined to the artichoke plants used to be covered with ashes; from here, the scientific name of “Cynara scolymus”.
