Bellaverde ®
Bellaverde ® is a sweet tasting long stemmed broccoli, very similar in appearance to the traditional wild broccoli Cime di Rapa, eaten by our forbears. The young shoots are hand picked after just 10 days of growth and have a delicate, clean, fresh sweet taste, quite unlike any other broccoli. Because of its vibrant colour, it was given the brand name Bellaverde ® which is Italian for “beautiful green.”
Broccoli actually originates from the Calabria region of Italy, which is why it is sometimes called calabrese. Bellaverde ® is a true pure broccoli and has all the health boosting superfood qualities of a traditional broccoli. It is high in Vitamin C, beta-carotene, folate and fibre as well as beneficial plant compounds which research suggests may have cancer fighting potential. Bellaverde ® is extremely versatile. You can throw it into stir fries, toss it into pasta, serve it on the side with meat or fish, enjoy in a warm salad or just eat raw as a crudité with dips. It takes just three minutes to cook, with nothing being wasted, it can all go into the pan.
