Jana Ronne replied to Mia Kalef's discussion Artichoke Bulbs- for free! in the group VV Neighbourhood Food Networks
"They are good in risotto and stir fry type of dishes but I found it challenging to store them properly. They were prone to mold. I haven't grown them again because of how much space they take up but they are great (too good) producers!"
