Crete is famous for its delicious artichokes !! The process is tedious because, in addition to harvesting, peeling is even more time-consuming because of their thorns. The result, however, will compensate those who will give it a try!! Artichokes can be tasted - enjoyed in many ways, either boiled in a salad with lemon and extra virgin olive oil, in an omelette, with goat meat cooked with egg-lemon sauce or in a stew with pork or beef meat.
Artichokes have great nutritional value and offer only benefits to the human body.
