Calabrese Green Sprouting Broccoli
Brassica oleracea
Calabrese, is one of the most popular types of broccoli for both large growers and home gardeners. This open pollinated broccoli from Italy, forms large richly-flavored heads, then generous side shoots for the rest of the season. As we've said before, broccoli is a health game-changer. Chock full of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, A, oodles of B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, protein, and the list goes on! It can be eaten raw, sautéed, roasted with garlic and almonds, used to make casserole or quiche. It's always good and always good for you.
