tips

Store separately

Broccoli is sensitive to ethylene gas. Don’t store it next to ethylene-producing produce like apples, pears or tomatoes to prevent the florets from yellowing.

Presentation

Display the broccoli with the florets facing up and the stems pointing down.

Avoid discoloration

Avoid direct sunlight, as it accelerates discolouration.

Growing Method

BelOrta grows broccoli in open fields, which means the vegetables develop outdoors without greenhouse protection. This gives the broccoli all the space and nutrients it needs to thrive, resulting in a firm texture and a pure, natural flavour. Open-ground cultivation does demand extra care and attention from our growers, but the result is a delicious, healthy vegetable.
