Broccoli Seeds
Broccoli, or green trees as our children used to call them when they were smaller, are a very good worthwhile vegetable to grow from seed. Think of all the travel miles you will save growing it yourself, and the flavour is so much better and (unless you use them) no chemicals involved.
Broccoli is very good for you, full of vitamins A, C, K and minerals, fibre, protein, calcium and magnesium; it also contains sulphoraphane which can reduce inflammation in the body and can promote bone, heart health and your immune and hormone system. It is also thought to prevent macular degeneration in older peoples eyes and have anti-cancer properties, so all round an exceptional vegetable to eat! To get the most out of the goodness in Broccoli why not stir fry it instead of steam or boiling it?
Growing from seed can be very satisfying and broccoli, or calabrese as it is also known, is no different, a member of the brassica and cabbage family packed with goodness.
