Broccoli

broccoli green and purpleThe Basics

Our broccoli varieties are mainly green-headed types, although we do have some purple. Sometimes we have large heads, sometimes we have the small side shoots that come after you cut the first main head. Broccoli comes from the nutrient-rich brassica family.

Cooking Tips

Don’t forget that the stems are edible too! Peel the thick skin and use the stem raw or cooked in soups and stir fries. It’s deliciously crunchy and has a distinctive taste.
