Category
Product Details
Broccoli is one of the vegetables that has become a symbol of healthy food. Some of its properties are:
- Good for anemia.
- Improves hypertension.
- Protect the heart.
- Purifies the body.
- Protects bones.
Season calendar
The seasonal calendar can vary slightly from year to year and from region to region, but in Tenerife, thanks to its mild climate, it is possible to grow many vegetables for much of the year. In the case of broccoli, here is a general guideline about its season in Tenerife:
- Direct sowing: From August to January.
- Transplant: From September to February.
- Harvest: 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 in the store or market, it is important to look for certain characteristics that indicate its freshness and quality. Here I give you some tips to select the best broccoli:
- Color: Fresh broccoli usually has a dark green color. Avoid those with yellow or brown areas, as this usually indicates that the broccoli is starting to deteriorate.
- Compact florets: The florets (the small heads of broccoli) should be closed and compact. If they are open or limp, 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, they 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 smell.
- Stem size: Although this does not affect quality per se, some prefer thicker stems for cooking, while others prefer thinner stems.
- Avoid wilted broccoli: If your broccoli appears wilted or the flowers 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, put the broccoli in the refrigerator. Don't wash it until you're ready to use it, as moisture can promote mold growth.

It looks super 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 another level.
