About Calabrese

Calabrese is a variety of broccoli primarily grown in the Mediterranean region, named for Calabria in southern Italy, where it is widely cultivated. Belonging to the Brassica family, it features dense florets and a tender stem, offering a slightly earthy flavor with a hint of sweetness. Rich in nutrients, Calabrese is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants such as sulforaphane, which support immune health, digestion, and cellular protection. Low in calories and fat, it aligns with heart-healthy and weight management diets. Commonly used in Italian cuisine, it’s a versatile vegetable perfect for steaming, sautéing, or roasting. While highly nutritious, be mindful of preparation methods, as frying or heavy sauces can diminish its health benefits. Calabrese stands out as a flavorful and beneficial addition to balanced meals.
