The Artichoke is a limited, single harvest uncommon crop obtainable through Chris P's rewards.
The Artichoke can be obtained during the Cooking Event as Cooking Rewards from Chris P.
The Artichoke is a small flower-like plant with green leaves protruding from the stem. It has a spiky purple flower on the top surrounded by jagged leaves. The stem is a tall pole like structure supporting the flower.
Artichoke used to have collisions with other objects and players. This has now been patched.
Because of this, players were able to make a "scooter" using a glitch that involves equipping a ~2kg artichoke with 9+ mutations. This bug has been patched in August 30 along with
having a sell limit of 10QA
The artichoke model is based off a thistle because the two are related.
When using the scooter glitch, the stem-like part gets removed and instead the part with the jagged leaves appears.
