How do I use this purple sprouting broccoli?

Sprouting broccoli can be eaten raw or cooked, just like the regular green kind of broccoli. Purple sprouting is the cousin of a regular broccoli. The look of it reminds me of broccolini, with its long thin stems and florets. The taste is not as cabbagey as regular broccoli and some may find it more flavorful. And just like any other broccoli, purple sprouting broccoli can be used in a salad. For a nutritional salad combine beets, walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice with sprouting broccoli and salt and pepper to taste.

Beets are a great source of fiber and B vitamins!

Purple sprouting broccoli is high in vitmin C and supports your immune system!

Walnuts have vitamin E, which protects your cells against free radicals.

For the dressing, you’ll need:

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • lemon juice
  • salt
  • pepper
