Green Magic
A tier
Green Magic is a hybrid broccoli selected for early maturity, solid green colour, and compact heads suited to fresh market slots where speed out of the field matters. Flavour is mild-green; beads stay tight if cut on time. Gardeners and smaller commercial plantings use it when a quick crop beats maximum head weight. Best as whole small heads roasted or steamed. Early types can be more heat-sensitive at head formation—bolting and loose beads punish late harvest. Use promptly after picking for maximum sweetness.
