The long, slender, sweet and tender shoots and yummy florets can be cut frequently over a long harvest season. This veggie combines the best attributes of Kailaan and the more familiar Broccoli. KaiBroc will soon earn its place in your productive plot with the first cut after 7-9 weeks, then quickly produces lots more side shoots for a repeat harvest. Price for 20 seeds
SOW & GROW: in spring and again in late summer/early autumn. You can start these in situ or in modules. This fast growing brassica needs about 15-20cm spacing between plants. The shoots and florets can be cut regularly over a long season as these plants will resprout and grow quickly. Your first cut can be taken after 7-9 weeks. Autumn production can continue into the winter unless the weather turns harsh
EAT: chop into chunks or slice the stems and steam or stir fry. Use as an alternative to leeks, they go well with chicken & fish dishes. If you are using mature stems the outer skin may need peeling. Cook the florets as you would sprouting broccoli
