National Artichoke Day 2024 (US): National Artichoke Day is observed on March 16; on this day, people gorge themselves on these nourishing and delectable plants. Artichokes are one of the oldest known delicacies in the world, having been a favorite of the Greeks and Romans as early as the eighth century. Presently, individuals enjoy consuming them in any preparation—baked, simmered, steamed, grilled, fried—or otherwise. California is the official state vegetable of California, where 99.9% of the artichokes purchased in the United States are produced.

Participation in National Artichoke Day Activities
Include artichokes in each meal.
Make it a personal challenge to include artichokes in every meal. For breakfast, prepare an artichoke frittata; for lunch, assemble a salad featuring marinated artichoke hearts; for supper, stuff artichokes; and as a snack, combine spinach and artichoke dip.
I would like to organize an artichoke luncheon.
Gather companions for a communal feast of artichokes. Request that all attendees bring a vegetable-based dish, and be sure to provide some classics as well. Artichoke dip, sautéed artichokes, marinated artichokes, steamed artichokes—all right, we recommend them all.
Savor a Cynar cocktail.
Cynar is an Italian liqueur composed of thirteen herbs and plants, with the artichoke being the most prominent. The liqueur’s nomenclature originates from the Latin nomenclature for artichokes, Cynara scolymus. As an amaro, Cynar may be consumed aperitif-style, digestif-style, or blended into a cocktail. We enjoy it over ice with seltzer water or as a substitute for Campari in a Negroni variation. Articulated cheers!
