Bellaverde®

If you are looking for broccoli with a unique, sweet flavour that not only is a versatile ingredient but also can be enjoyed on its own, look no further than bellaverde! It is a delicious, long-stemmed version of broccoli that almost bursts with flavour and nutrients.
With its delicate, clean, fresh flavour quite unlike any other broccoli, it turns any meal into something special, no matter how it is prepared.
It is a true broccoli, similar in appearance to Cima di rapa, the wild broccoli our ancestors used to eat.

Origin

Bellaverde is Italian for "beautiful green." Broccoli originates from the Calabria region of Italy so it was appropriate to give this new version an Italian name.

Flavour

The secret behind bellaverde's sweetness is the sunlight. Once the broccoli has been harvested, new shoots emerge, which, after ten days, are ready to be picked. The shoots grow above the plant to catch the sunlight. The sunlight and the fast growth lend the shoots their beautiful green colour, distinctive sweet flavour and tender texture.

Ready for a healthier life?

Bellaverde is a traditional broccoli and, like other traditional broccoli varieties, it is healthy, simply the queen of superfood. Broccoli is known for its health characteristics, including high levels of vitamin C, the vitamin B folic acid, fibre and potassium. An 80-gram serving of broccoli represents 20% of the daily intake of vegetables recommended by Swedish researchers at only 26 kcal.
