Purple Sprouting Broccoli is one of Spring’s greatest treats. The tender stems, delicious leaves and beautiful sprouts are not only colourful but very tasty too! We get ours every morning from New Covent Garden Market so they are always amazingly fresh and packed with flavour. What’s more, they’re cheaper than the pre-packed supermarket versions!

Taste: Nutty and flavoursome, with delicious edible leaves, this delicacy is the ideal accompaniment to a proper Sunday roast. They go really well with a hint of citrus, to liven up the taste.

Region: It’s a fairly easy plant to grow, and does well in temperate climates, but doesn’t like hot weather. We get ours in the UK, where the weather is cool enough at this time of the year.

Quality: We only source the finest grade available on the market. Our buyers only select what is looking and tasting best!

Cost: We always let you know the price per kg so you can easily compare our prices. Our purple sprouting broccoli are not only superior in quality, but they are also better value than what is usually found in the supermarket:

Natoora “Purple Sprouting Broccoli“ £4.70/kg
Ocado/Waitrose “Purple Sprouting Spears“ £8.90/kg
Abel and Cole “Purple Sprouting Broccoli“ £6.42/kg
