Hello everyone
I recently bought some artichokes to give to my tortoise, but I'm reading it is just the leaves you can feed. I'm not sure what the 'leaf' part is.
I always assumed it was the green spade-shaped things surrounding the artichoke heart: http://simplyrecipes.com/photos/artichoke.jpg
But now i'm thinking it may be the leaves from the stem of the plant: http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/artichoke-plant.jpg
Any clarification would be super. Thanks
edit: also is the flower part of the endive safe? or just the leaf? thanks!
