Broccoli 'Rasmus' - Brassica oleracea var. italica

The 'Rasmus' broccoli is a medium-sized variety with fine-grained, large flowers and gray-green leaves. It has a strong, non-woody stem without cavities. Its flavor is delicate and mild. Harvest time is reached when the individual, small, dark-green buds are clearly visible but still closed. After harvesting, many tender side shoots develop, which can be harvested for a long time.

Our high-quality organic vegetable seeds are grown according to the strictest organic standards for a sustainable and healthy harvest.

Growing tips:

Broccoli prefers nutrient-rich, moist, humus-rich soil. Before planting, it's beneficial to work mature compost into the soil (preferably in the fall). To prevent clubroot, you can also mix in algae lime.

After planting, the broccoli should be watered thoroughly. Two to three weeks after planting, and during flowering, it should be reapplied with organic fertilizer. Broccoli also thrives in large containers. Plant protection netting helps protect against flying pests.

Mixed culture:

Good neighbors: celery, beans, dill, beetroot, endive, chard, leek, radish, radishes
Bad neighbors: beans, pumpkin, tomatoes, chili, strawberries

Use:

Enjoy the broccoli and its tender 10-15 cm long stalk raw in a vitamin-rich smoothie or salad. Of course, it also tastes great cooked (just briefly!) as a side dish or gratinated in a casserole. It retains its vibrant green color if blanched briefly in ice water after cooking. It shouldn't be stored for too long, as the vitamins degrade quickly.
