Organic Sweet Baby Broccoli Exists!


Last year after class I decided to go to the Whole Foods in Boystown to pick up a couple of items. There, in the produce department, were bunches of Lakeside Organic Garden’s Organic Sweet Baby Broccoli. I purchased two bunches. They were delectable. While they reminded me of Rapini, which I’ve never found in organic form, these were scrumptious. The best thing about these baby broccoli is that there is virtually no waste. Usually purchasing organic broccoli ends up being very expensive because some of the stalk (and there is usually a LOT of it) is inedible and more suited for a door jamb than the dinner table.

A few days later I made a special trip to my regular Whole Foods and sadly, they did not carry it. Soon after, Roseann was up for errands, so we went to the Boystown Whole Foods and they didn’t have it, either. A friend of mine tried on several occasions to find this item at one of three different locations, and nada. All I had left from last year was the memory of how good it was and the saved label.

Okay, I’m an easy girl (hold on I am NOT finished with my sentence!!) to please when it comes to basic things in life. I love good food, and good food does indeed please me. Well, you can imagine how happy I was when a friend called me earlier this afternoon, and said, “I’m at Whole Foods and they have that organic baby broccoli — do you want any???”

I photographed the goods for evidence. It is not Photoshopped, it is the real deal!!
