In addition to the heart, you can eat the base of the petals, and the stem.

For Italian-Jewish style fried artichokes, (carciofi alla giudia) you eat like 80% of the artichoke.

Because it grows like a weed, requires zero effort to farm.
They are quite nice to make stock with, just slice them in quarters and simmer carefully with your other veggies of choice. Gives an unusal sweetness.

Wilderness survival. People who had to find sources of food to survive found that young shoots and the soft portions inside plants are good for eating. There are lots of other plants that have the same issue: majority inedible except for the heart.

Somewhere between brussels sprouts and broccoli stalks. It’s hard to nail down precisely because it’s a very unique texture.

Did you know that a long time ago we didn’t actually have produce stores and fruit trees with tremendous almost seedless fruits and giant hearty vegetables?
Turns out, when food doesn’t just grow in full, fleshy, juicy, plentiful amounts, people get hungry and kinda desperate to find anything that’s edible.
