Calabrese broccoli is a variety of broccoli known for its large, dark green heads and slender stalks. It's highly regarded for its nutritional value, rich in vitamins C and K. This vegetable is easy to identify by its tightly clustered florets. It has a milder flavor compared to other broccoli types, making it popular in both raw and cooked dishes.


Calabrese broccoli originated in Italy, specifically in Calabria, from which it gets its name. It was introduced to the United States by Italian immigrants in the 1920s. Over time, it became one of the most common broccoli varieties worldwide. Its cultivation spread due to its hardiness and ability to grow in various climates, though it prefers the cooler seasons.
