Organic Piricicaba Broccoli
Organic Piricicaba Broccoli
Deep green heads with tightly packed florets
We love this remarkable heirloom variety, Piricicaba Broccoli, known for its exceptional adaptability and unique flavor. Thriving in warm to temperate climates, Piricicaba stands out with its loose, open heads of light green florets that have a slightly irregular texture. The flavor is notably sweet and nutty, with a mild bitterness that adds complexity, especially when lightly steamed or sautéed. This broccoli variety is not only a visual delight but also a nutrient-rich addition to your diet.
Piricicaba Broccoli is a product of careful breeding, making it a resilient choice for diverse gardening environments. It performs exceptionally well in well-draining soil and enjoys full to partial sunlight, making it ideal for everything from traditional garden beds to container gardening.
Harvesting your Piricicaba Broccoli is straightforward. Once the central head reaches its peak size, use a clean, sharp knife to cut it, leaving a few inches of stem. This technique encourages the plant to produce smaller side shoots, allowing you to enjoy a prolonged harvest season.
Enhance your gardening and culinary experiences with Piricicaba Broccoli. From its distinctive growth to the delightful taste on your plate, this heirloom variety brings a touch of sophistication and homegrown goodness to your kitchen.
USDA hardiness zones: 3 - 10
Shipping in 2.75” pots, we exclusively opt for seedlings that have reached the pinnacle of their maturity, ensuring a bountiful harvest in your garden. Employing organic techniques, our seedlings are cultivated without chemicals or pesticides.

Let customers speak for us
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
