Hello broccoli lovers!
These were very happy days. As we told you a few weeks ago, we are in full broccoli campaign. In any grocery store or supermarket you can find precious broccoli heads, with good tight green sprouts. Broccoli loves the cold and now finally that autumn has arrived here, we can enjoy all seasonal products to the full.
The 13th edition of the Week of Science and Technology organised by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, was held from the 7th to 9th November in the region of Murcia. Broccolin, natural for these lands, did not miss the opportunity to get closer to more than a thousand young people who passed through the fair.

Have you ever asked yourself, what vegerables are in season? When is the best time to eat broccoli or cauliflower? Today we give you the answer to these simple questions.
Broccoli, like other vegetables, is a seasonal product. It depends on the weather conditions in the place where it grows. Even though in Spain broccoli is grown practically all year round, the best time to eat broccoli is during autumn and winter, since the autumn and winter crops yield the most broccoli.
We usually get colds when there are sudden changes in temperature or when we are low on defenses. This is why we can win this battle by making sure our children eat well.
