I planted some broccoli seeds (purple sprouting) last year and now
have plants a couple of feet tall. They have purple sprouts forming.
In one plant, these have opened into yellow flowers. So when we eat
broccoli, are we really eating unopened flowers? I never knew that!
I presume that now is the time to harvest, before any more open into
flowers. [...]
IMO, the flowers are best of all. However, there's a problem: once
the flowers open, insects tend to crawl inside them (to eat the nectar) -
and so you are probably no longer getting 100% vegetarian produce :-|
