Seasonal Calendar
Seasonal availability can vary slightly from year to year and region to region, but in Tenerife, thanks to its mild climate, it's possible to grow many vegetables for much of the year. For broccoli, here's a general guide to its season in Tenerife:
- Direct sowing: From August to January.
- Transplant: From September to February.
- Harvesting: From November to April.
These dates are approximate and may vary depending on the specific climatic conditions of each year and the microclimate of the specific area of Tenerife where it is grown.
Selection tips
When choosing broccoli at the store or market, it's important to look for certain characteristics that indicate its freshness and quality. Here are some tips for selecting the best broccoli:
- Color: Fresh broccoli is usually dark green. Avoid any with yellow or brown areas, as this often indicates that the broccoli is starting to spoil.
- Tight florets: The florets (the small heads of broccoli) should be closed and tight. If they are open or loose, the broccoli is probably old.
- Firm stems: Make sure the stem is firm and does not feel soft or droopy.
- Fresh leaves: If the broccoli still has leaves attached, these should look fresh and not wilted.
- No spots or mold: Examine the broccoli for dark spots, mold, or soft areas, as these are signs of spoilage.
- Smell: Fresh broccoli should have an earthy, green smell. Avoid broccoli that has a strong or bitter odor.
- Stem size: Although this does not affect the quality per se, some prefer thicker stems for cooking, while others prefer thinner stems.
- Avoid wilted broccoli: If the broccoli looks wilted or the florets are starting to open or turn yellow, it's probably no longer fresh.
By following these tips, you will be able to select fresh, quality broccoli for your meals.
Conservation
When you get home, store the broccoli in the refrigerator. Don't wash it until you're ready to use it, as moisture can promote mold growth.

Candelaria –
It looks incredibly fresh and green right out of the box, nothing like what you sometimes find in stores. I cooked it that same night, and the flavor was on another level.
Guacimara –
Forget those yellowish, pasty ones from the supermarket; this one from Sanus comes in a vibrant green, super tight and stiff.
