In Messinia and, specifically, in Mikromani, in the wider area of Thouria, the variety ‘wild artichoke of Mikromani’ is cultivated. Studies show that artichoke is one of the most nutritious and healthy foods and that, in addition to being a delicious vegetable, it is also a valuable medicine.
In recent years, the ‘Artichoke Festival’ has been taking place in Mikromani, where local, delicious dishes based on artichokes are offered to visitors.
