In Shock of Artichoke
Artichokes are pretty weird and slimy-looking to begin with, but what happens if you leave them alone for a while? They get even more strange-looking, as evidenced below. To be honest, we rather prefer them this way–as a decorative item, instead of on our pizza.
It turns out that when you farm artichokes, you must harvest them before the buds begin to open, or they can’t be eaten. After the buds open, they become a beautiful flower… But the crop is pretty much useless at that point aside from its gorgeous bluish-purple appearance.
