Artichokes are three types of vegetables in the daisy family Asteraceae. When unqualified, the term "artichoke" nearly always refers to the globe artichoke, of which the aboveground part is eaten, in contrast to the other two, where a root part is eaten. The word artichoke is taken from the Arabic ارضي شوكي (ardi shauki) or ارضي شوك (ardi shauk), meaning literally, "ground-thorn."
- The Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) is a species of thistle. The edible part of the plant is the base (receptacle) of the artichoke head in bud, properly called a vegetable as it is harvested well before any fruit develops. It was brought to California by Italians in the 1880s, and is farmed mostly in that state.
- The Jerusalem artichoke Helianthus tuberosus is a species of sunflower. The edible part of the plant is the tuber.
- The Chinese artichoke Stachys affinis is a species of woundwort. The edible part of the plant is the tuber.
- The Artichoke Pendant is a famous light fixture designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958.
