Originally from Europe, Goliath broccoli stands out for its impressive size and remarkable resilience. This heirloom variety has withstood the test of time, establishing itself in organic vegetable gardens where its density makes it a valuable and nutritious vegetable.

In the garden, Goliath broccoli boasts an upright habit with large green leaves, offering an abundant harvest of fleshy heads. Its hardiness and ability to thrive even in slightly cooler conditions make it a reliable companion for gardeners concerned with biodiversity.

Grown for its firm and tasty flesh, it fits perfectly into a food garden that prioritizes quality and sustainability, attracting attention with its verdant charisma.

Le brocoli De Cicco est une variété ancienne appréciée pour sa précocité et sa capacité à produire sur une longue période. Contrairement aux brocolis à grosse tête unique, il forme d’abord une petite tête centrale, puis développe rapidement de nombreux jets latéraux, offrant des récoltes répétées et étalées.

Originaire d’Italie, ce brocoli se distingue par ses bouquets plus fins et sa saveur douce, légèrement sucrée. Sa texture est tendre lorsqu’il est récolté jeune, ce qui en fait un légume très apprécié en cuisine familiale. Sa croissance rapide permet des récoltes hâtives, souvent dès le début de l’été pour les semis printaniers.

Au jardin, De Cicco s’adapte bien aux conditions de saison fraîche à tempérée. Il apprécie les sols riches et bien drainés, ainsi qu’une humidité régulière. Récolté fréquemment, il répond par une production continue de pousses secondaires, prolongeant la présence du brocoli au potager.

By crossing 'Green Goliath' broccoli with two varieties of kale, breeder Frank Morton created a remarkable variety, as astonishing for its color as for its texture and flavor. Its finely toothed, red leaves are truly delicious: young, they add a colorful, bittersweet touch to salads; older, steamed, they reveal a richness that rivals the best traditional kale.

The head, too, has its own character: tender, juicy purple stems topped with small green florets that have a mild, sweet taste, without the sometimes sharp intensity of classic raw broccoli. It's a variety where every part, from the leaves to the stems, is savored with renewed pleasure at each stage of development.

Very hardy, it also shows excellent tolerance to insects , making it a safe and delightful choice for gardeners who want to grow a broccoli that is original, resilient and tasty.

In the garden, it develops a robust and compact habit, ideal for growing in a variety of spaces. Its early maturity makes it an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy tender, colorful broccoli. Its purple hue also adds a touch of beauty to companion planting, enhancing biodiversity and the overall harmony of the vegetable garden.
