Broccoli Purple Sprouting

Brassica oleracea botrytis

The stunningly attractive, heirloom vegetable produces lots of small heads of deep-purple florets. It is an old English variety that can be cut and re-harvested.

Flavours/Food Partners: Broccoli partners with all other root and leafy green vegetables either steamed or stir fried. Flavour is best when slightly under cooked but still soft. Serve with butter and crushed ginger.

Health/Cooking/Medicinal: For maximum health benefits do not overcook. Broccoli make a great side dish tossed in the wok with some garlic, ginger and lime juice. It is also excellent lightly steamed and served with your favourite vegetables and meat.

Broccoli generally needs an airy, open position with plenty of sun and needs winter cold to set the heads. Likes spring watering in a location with very good drainage. Harvest at 2-3 months
