CALIFORNIA GROWN
Embrace the flavors of California with this delightful spin on a classic bread pudding, starring spinach and freshly harvested baby artichokes right from the Golden State.
Artichokes aren't just a tasty vegetable; they're a fascinating crop, primarily cultivated in the cool, coastal areas of California, where the mild temperatures and foggy mornings create perfect conditions for them to flourish. In fact, nearly 100% of America's fresh artichoke supply comes from California! * These thistles are planted in the spring or fall and harvested throughout the summer, making them a versatile crop that keeps on giving.
For our bread pudding recipe, we'll use baby artichokes. These smaller versions of the classic artichoke offer a milder flavor and a more tender texture, making them perfect for quick cooking and adding to various dishes. But unlike their larger counterparts, baby artichokes are entirely edible—choke and all!
