I remember reading on the ABC News website a few months back about a market gardener in Indiana or Ohio growing purple brussel sprouts and then shipping them to upscale restaurants all over the United States. Are there really such a thing as purple brussel sprouts? If so, where can I buy the seed for them? |
The sprouts you mention are actually an heirloom variety and have recently been rediscovered. They're called Rubine, mature in 85 days, and are available from Swallowtail Seeds, 122 Calistoga Road #178, Santa Rosa, CA 95409. Phone 800-723-1771. |
