Show stopping crisp and sweet purple-headed broccoli with tender kale-like leaves. One of the showiest and most flamboyantly adorned birds on the planet now has a rival. With blue green streaked feathers, striped coverts, an ombre train, and an iridescent crest worn on top, this broccoli is a bird of another feather. The stems, leaves, and florets show as much variation as from one pretentious peacock to another. You may find yourself being as picky as a peahen, selecting which broccolis to invite in for dinner based purely on the extravagance of their colorful display. And just like a peafowl breeder, you may begin selecting which traits you want passed on generation to generation by letting your favorite plants go to seed.
