AK
With prolific production of huge side shoots after its large, main head is cut, Second Helping™ was a clear flavor favorite in our research trials. It's so delicious, even the pickiest eaters will ask for more! Main heads are also very large in size. Each of the green heads feature a medium-fine bead, and weighs about 600 grams. It's packed with dietary fiber, and rich in sulfur compounds and vitamin C, which together help maintain heart health. Delicious when chopped into small, raw pieces for broccoli salads, or when drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and roasted. 70 days to maturity.
