It tastes a bit like a green asparagus."

New: baby broccoli
This producer is known for his various innovations regarding cabbages. He offers flower sprouts, pointed red cabbage, and the sprouting broccoli. This year he has started with baby broccoli. "It is a bit of a testing period and I'm not sure if I will continue this variety. It is a variety that is easily cut into florets. After cutting one has small florets of the same colour. This is greatly appreciated by many chefs. These are supplied in packs of 200 gram."
