Overview
Packed on ice for colour and crunch
Broccoli is one of the most perishable vegetables, so we harvest in the cool months, trim quickly and pack in insulated foam boxes with ice. This keeps heads green, firm and crisp through transport.
Head size, trimming and the receiving condition are agreed before the shipment date is set.
