A deeper, vibrant and leafier version of Calabrese, purple sprouting broccoli is very nutritious and easy to cook. Steam or boil for just a few minutes, add salt and pepper and a drizzle of butter if you wish. You may want to trim the woodier part of the stalks or any tough leaves before cooking.

Wash before eating.

* Like us, not all fruit or vegetables are perfectly formed. We don’t believe in discriminating against misshapen carrots or imperfect potatoes and in fact, love them for their flaws. A less than round apple is still as tasty as their perfectly formed cousins. Unless your produce is clearly defective, please accept them as Nature intended.
