Abstract
Cynara cardunculus, the primitive wild form of the artichoke, was used only as a forage. The analysis of the seeds and the stalks of this pl ant showed that both these parts could be used; the seeds for vegetabl e oil production and the stalks for paper pulp manufacturing. The firs t results showed that oil extracted from Cynara seeds has a similar co mposition as sunflower oil and the paper pulp obtained by chemical pul ping of the stalks is of good quality.
