Product Description
The hands-down winner in our 2014 broccoli trials for best taste and texture. Homegrown broccoli is treasured for its sweet flavor and tenderness—and Gurney's® Blue Ribbon Hybrid Broccoli is some of the best-tasting we've tried. The large, blue-green heads have a sweet, non-bitter flavor and buttery-tender texture. The plants produce plenty of side shoots, too, so you can enjoy a longer broccoli harvest season. Like other broccoli, Blue Ribbon Hybrid Broccoli is packed with antioxidants and fiber. 52 days to maturity.
