This playfully Swedish-designed salt & pepper mill adds a personal touch to your kitchen or dining table. Adorning the top of the green mill is a beautifully carved wooden artichoke that serves as a dial to adjust the grain size. The mill's body features a carved texture that enhances the natural feel of the wood.
The mill features a high-quality grinding mechanism that dispenses the spices from the top, keeping your table free from crumbs. Refilling the mill is easy–pull the mill halves apart to open the container.
The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a perennial crop known for its large, edible flower buds, which are considered a delicacy in several countries. It can grow up to 1.5-2 metres tall and has large, silvery-green lobed leaves. If the flower bud is allowed to develop, it blooms with large violet flowers.
Artichokes originated in the Mediterranean and are a domesticated variety of the cardoon (a wild thistle species). In Spain, artichokes have protected designations of origin. An example is the Valencia region, which the EU recognised in November 2003.
Cooked artichokes are nutritious and contain high levels of dietary fibre, vitamins (especially C and K), minerals (such as magnesium and phosphorus), and antioxidants. Typically eaten boiled, the "leaf" (bract) is pulled off one at a time and eaten with butter. Other ways to prepare artichokes include baking. You may also find pickled artichokes on store shelves.
