Did you know?

Broccoli seed germinated over three or four days into a thin white stem with two small green leaves. It tastes sharp, more like radish than mature broccoli, and is eaten raw in salads and sandwiches.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
