So, what is cardo?
Cardo, also known as cardoon, is a unique vegetable that is closely related to the artichoke family. This ingredient boasts a distinct, mildly bitter flavor that is similar to that of its cousin, the artichoke. The cardo is a large, thistle-like plant with silvery-green leaves and a spiny stem. The edible part of the cardo is the fleshy stem, which is typically blanched and eaten after being cooked. Cardo is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and side dishes. Not only is it delicious, but it is also rich in nutrients such as fiber, potassium, and vitamins C and K.
