Are your winter brassicas flowering? No problem!

Подробнее о видео

Hi Everyone! I’ve said it many times, but I’ll say it again: the whole plant is edible on a brassica 👌 and is one of my favourite things about them! Which is also why I grow so many 😆 even though they can be tricky to protect from all the pests that also love them 😂

One could argue 😉 that you don’t need to grow all the different varieties there are if you can eat everything off one plant. Let’s say you grow a calabrese (or broccoli):

- use the leaves as kale or cabbage
- the stem as kohlrabi
- the secondary flower shoots like sprouting broccoli
- or even the seedlings as micro greens!

But where is the fun in that 😂

Also, the yellow flowers are safe to eat too and are delicious 😋 So don’t worry if the plant has bolted before you managed to pick the shoots!
