Why is artichoke called artichoke?

Is this mysterious artichoke native to Korea? It has nothing to do with it. It's all caused by a world-class misunderstanding. It is native to the Mediterranean coast of Europe and most cultivated in France. /kloc-It was introduced into China from French in the 20th century. After the trial planting in China, there is no unified name. The Japanese thought it was particularly delicious and introduced it from China. At that time, the traffic was not very convenient, and it was transported back to Japan by land through the Korean peninsula. Some people in Japan think it is made in North Korea, so they call it "artichoke". Who told me that Japan was much more developed than China at that time, and of course the media industry was developed. The name "artichoke" has been used in various reports, and even China people have used it over time, and it has been used until today! Fortunately, it's not called "Korean thistle", otherwise today's Korean netizens will make trouble on the Internet again.

Before it was introduced to China, it was introduced to other European countries from Naples in the middle of15th century. 1806, French immigrants brought it to the United States. Today, Castwell, California is called Artichoke City, and a beauty pageant parade is held in late May every year to select Miss Artichoke. 1949 the first miss artichoke was a famous actress Marilyn Monroe. The reason why Europeans and Americans attach so much importance to this thing is said to be a magic medicine. According to the oldest Greek medical books, both ancient Greeks and Romans believed that artichokes were a magical medicine and promised to have boys, so only men were qualified to eat artichokes and women were deprived of the right to eat artichokes. It was not until Catherine Dmitric, princess of French King Henry II, boldly promoted it that women could eat it. Although it is not a magic medicine, according to scientific tests, the dry bud of artichoke is rich in artichoke, chlorogenic acid, polyphenols and other substances, which really has the functions of strengthening liver and gallbladder, kidney function, lowering cholesterol, promoting digestion, preventing arteriosclerosis and lowering blood lipid.

Since it is a treasure, how can you turn a blind eye? At present, 20,000 mu of artichokes have been planted in Xidongting Plain, Changde, Hunan Province, which is the largest artichoke planting base in China so far. Europeans and Americans have been eating canned artichokes for hundreds of years, but the people of China have the wisdom to expand the single function of eating only flower buds to the development and utilization of leaves and stems to make tea, wine, beauty food, health food and all kinds of delicious food, which should be enjoyed by ordinary China people.
