Broccoleaf is fully packed with antioxidants, aka super greens, good for detoxification.
This mighty green scores higher than kale (and broccoli florets) in calcium, but it is also an excellent source of great vitamins (see below), and has lots of phytonutrients, like glucosinolates, which are great cancer fighters.
When to plant and grow broccoli?
Broccoli can be planted in patios and/or in greenhouses around mid to late summer. Will reach full growth late Autumn (fall) or early winter time. Of course, all depending on your country/location and climate conditions.
During mild weather conditions, you are more likely to harvest it in early winter.
You can actually transplant the broccoli plant to the garden when they reach 7-10 cm or when they are 5 to 6 weeks old.
Also, great idea to move them outside as early as the very last spring frosty is over.

It is also sweet and crisp without the bitter taste.
