Piracicaba Broccoli
Piracicaba Broccoli
Couldn't load pickup availability
Bred for heat tolerance in the steamy tropical town of Piracicaba, Brazil this variety is really, really spectacular!! Sweet and tender tasting broccoli, stems and everything. A few plants had notably large central heads but that's not what this variety is known for. It's the abundant side shoots, so it's almost more like a broccolini. The more open flower buds are tender and hold onto flavorings and oils when pan fried- creating the most delicious little flavor cups!
Good to start from seed in these months:
North Florida: January-February, July-December
Central Florida: January, September-December
South Florida: January, September-December

This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
