It's a spring harvest in the south since it is planted in the still cooler winter season and handles the cold well. i've seen it in most Whole Food Stores but not in the large discount food stores that handle questionable foreign produce. Remember plants absorb the fertilizers and nutrients that they are grown with. You can't tell from the outside whats inside. So buy from American growers where there are some controls on the products. The foreign growers have none. They have been know to use human waste for fertalizer in some asian countries. This little piece of info was not to discust anyone but to create awareness of what's in the foods we buy. If purple brocoli isn’t available in some areas, it soon will be.

If not sorry, but just thought this up and decided to put it out there for fun and comments. I all ways had trouble getting the kids (years ago) to eat vegetables so came up with "My Mardi Gras Recepi" (because of the colors not the season) Using any good quality Pork sausage (or Turkey for the skinnies) Slice a pound of sausage into 1/4 " slices and steam in a large skillet with a cover. (no salt required). after the sausage has swollen and is cooked , lay 2 whole chopped onions across the top of the sausage , Add 2 crowns of large chopped purple brocalli, 6 yellow squash sliced and unskinned, 6 green zucinni sliced and unskinned. Steam with sausage for 7 to 10 minutes, quickly check for firmness (don't let the veggies get soggy). Sprinkle with whatever seasonings you prefer, i.e. garlick powder, italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, or Mexican spices and salt. Remove from heat and uncover to release steam and excess water. Enjoy over wild or pecan rice or whatever is your favorite rice. This is a quick healthy, fun meal with no locked in amounts or seasonings. Use what 's available and make as much as you need . The above should feed four adults generously. Is this where we submit a recepi for March? If not sorry, but just thought this up and decided to put it out there for fun and comments.
