### STORING ARTICHOKES

        Artichokes are quite perishable and  should be  used as

    soon
    as possible  after  purchase.   However, they will hold

    up
     to  a  week  without  breaking  down if  stored  in  the

    refrigerator.

        When  to  buy:   Available  year-round but at  peak  in

    March,
    April and May.

        What  to  look  for:   Firm,  compact  vegetables  with

    attractive
     olive-green coloring that are heavy in  relation

    to
    their size.

        How to store:  Refrigerate immediately after purchase.
