Broccoli is derived from the Italian word broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a cabbage," and the Latin, brachium, meaning arm, branch, or shoot. Broccoli is a cool season crop that is grown for its edible flower buds and stalk. It is a fast-growing annual plant that grows 60–90 cm (24–35 inches) tall.
Broccoli stalks or stems - which typically go to waste - can be diced, riced, or shredded. They have a great flavor and texture. The outer broccoli leaves can also be used in place of leafy greens in purees, juices, or sauces.
WHAT IS FULL HARVEST INNOVATIVE GRADE?Full Harvest Innovative Grade produce is off-grade produce with custom specification tolerances outside of traditional grades. These unique Full Harvest products are developed in partnership with our suppliers by capturing perfectly edible produce that is typically wasted during harvest - simply because it does not fit into traditional grades. One of our most sustainable offerings, Innovation Grade produce helps our growers sell more of their harvest and waste less in the fields. An audit is required before environmental benefit claims can be made. Please review the specifications closely in the Marketplace to ensure the product will meet your production needs.
