Seattle Restaurants to Feature Purple Sprouting Broccoli

OSA is working with local farmers in five Washington counties to bring purple sprouting broccoli to markets and restaurants throughout the region. The project is part of a regional organic plant breeding collaboration focused on delivering new purple sprouting broccoli seed varieties to growers. The eye-catching and tasty overwintering crop thrives in the Pacific Northwest maritime climate and offers a welcome break from the chards and kales most commonly found on grocery shelves throughout the winter. For farmers it provides an early income stream before the tender greens of spring arrive.

Late winter through early spring is when purple sprouting broccoli is at its sweet and tender best and chefs throughout Seattle will be showcasing it March 31 – April 6. Help us welcome spring by enjoying this up-and-coming regional staple!

These restaurants are putting purple sprouting broccoli in the spotlight from March 31–April 6. (The event was originally planned for the week of March 17th, but due to weather and other uncontrollable events, it was postponed.) Thanks for coming out and supporting this seed-to-table event!
