Broccoli-De Cicco
|
|
|
De Cicco Broccoli is a treasured Italian heirloom introduced to the US in the late 1800’s and for good reason. It is an abundant and early producer of delightfully flavored good sized, blue-green heads, from both the main stalk and side shoots. Delicious raw or cooked, it also freezes well. The flowers make tasty edible treats on their own or tossed in salads or stir-frys, and the seeds are great for sprouting too!
