📝 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Our Better Than Organic (BTO) Fiolaro Broccoli is a unique Italian heirloom variety that looks like arugula but delivers authentic broccoli flavor. Originally from the hills of Creazzo in Vicenza, this leafy green brings gourmet restaurant quality to your kitchen. Available in convenient sizes from 142g (5oz) to 454g (16oz) to suit both home cooks and professional kitchens.

🌿 CROP DETAILS
Fiolaro Broccoli represents a fascinating piece of Italian agricultural heritage, harvested since ancient Roman times. Unlike traditional broccoli, this variety produces tender, flavorful leaves rather than florets, making it more versatile in the kitchen.
