Purple Reign Purple Sprouting Broccoli (OP - Trial Only)

Purple Reign is an open-pollinated population being refined by the Organic Seed Alliance (Port Townsend, WA) in partnership with Organically Grown Company (Portland, OR). We are excited about this variety! At the moment, it is a bit variable - both in its morphology and harvest window. But stay tuned for this one to become a staple PSB variety in a few years. Photo in the field is from OSA; we took the one showing off purple stems - what do you think? Prettier than green?

• reliable and hearty plants

• brilliant purple florets

When to Find: March-April

Chef Wastell’s Tasting Notes:

Roasted: “enjoyably mild flavor with delicious leaves”

Blanched: “a favorable option for its true broccoli flavor without the off-putting harsh/bitter flavors”
