Organic Purple Peacock Broccoli
$4.49
Unit price perBy 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.
