Sprouting broccoli produces lots of slender, elegant stems, with small florets. Stems are extra-sweet and tender, and don’t need to be peeled. This chef’s favourite, previously only found in supermarkets, is actually a clever hybrid of standard broccoli and Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli). Pinch out the first head to encourage lots of side shoots. The long stems are just as tasty as the florets. Germination 6 – 10 days | Maturity 10 weeks
