Purple Broccoli Seeds
Purple broccoli, also known as purple sprouting broccoli, is a vibrant and nutritious variant of the more commonly known green broccoli.
The purple color comes from the presence of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant. Purple sprouting broccoli can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, from simple steamed sides to more elaborate culinary creations. Its slightly sweeter and earthier flavor compared to green broccoli makes it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.
Purple broccoli is also relatively easy to grow, making it a favorite among home gardeners. It thrives in cooler weather and can be harvested throughout the spring and early summer months. When selecting purple broccoli at the market, look for firm, vibrant stalks with tightly closed florets.
Whether you're adding it to a colorful salad, roasting it with a drizzle of olive oil, or incorporating it into a hearty stir-fry, purple broccoli is sure to add both nutrition and visual appeal to your meals. Embrace this delightful vegetable and explore the myriad ways it can enhance your diet and dining experience.

How to Save Seeds
Broccoli will cross pollinate with any member of the Brassica oleracea which includes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and brussel sprouts so separate by 1 mile . It's best to leave these guys in the garden over winter since they are biennial. Simply let some of the heads remain on the stalk. Once spring arrives the heads left should go to seed. Once pods appear and are pick them for seed harvest but make sure not to wait.
