Product Description This ‘broccoletti’ is one of the most highly prized vegetables in Italy. Its a leafy green rather than the broccoli flowers and regrows after cutting. Neapolitans simply revere it, and use it with olives and chillies in their two most famous and popular dishes – pasta and pizza. It can also be eaten on its own as a vegetable, parboiled, tossed in seasoned olive oil with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Sow from May to the end of July. @750 seeds Annual: It is a summer brassica rather than a winter one, so sow from April, 1cm deep it will survive light frosts. Easy to grow and full of flavour, this excellent vegetable is well worth growing. Approximate seed quantity: @1800 / 6g Reviews 5 Friarielli broccoli Posted by Natalie Nixon on 2nd May 2026 I first came across this fabulous broccoli when I was living in Naples and I’m so delighted I can now get the seeds from Franchi. Germination is easy as is growing on – just protect from cabbage white caterpillars – they love it too!
