It is surprising just how many people have never heard of Calabrese, the writer’s own personal favourite vegetable. It is in fact best described as a green, Purple-Sprouting Broccoli and, although not particularly hardy, it is ready for cutting in only 3 months or so from sowing, as against 9 months with the purple variety. Sow from spring to early summer and grow like other Broccoli. Try it – it’s delicious.
