About Broccoli purple sprouting

Purple sprouting broccoli is a broccoli type harvested for its branching shoots and small flower buds. The stems and buds can show purple colouring, which may become less vivid with cooking; leaves are often present on the shoots. It has a tender-stemmed, leafy texture and a mild, sometimes slightly sweet brassica flavour.

The shoots are commonly steamed, boiled, roasted, or sautéed, and are eaten as a whole vegetable after any tough stem ends are trimmed. Fresh bunches and cooked shoots differ in water content and edible portion. The term identifies this sprouting form, not ordinary broccoli florets or a processed broccoli product.
