Broccoli Sprouting Calabrese

Broccoli Sprouting Calabrese is a lovely, old fashioned Broccoli variety that is very disease resistant, very hardy and a very prolific producer of large dark green heads. The 7 to 15cm heads have a bluish green center and are typically uniform in size and shape. It will produce a number of good-size side shoots once the initial head is harvested.

Although the heads of this Broccoli variety are typically the only thing utilised, the stalks, buds and leaves are also edible. Try growing a few seed to just Micro-leaf stage and harvest with scissors when they have formed their first leaves. They are very tender with an astonishing clarity of flavour…. a true ‘superfood’.
