Brussels Sprout 'Cryptus' F1

  • Product number: 179000
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Brassica oleracea

This Brussels sprout is Clubroot resistant! It is a relatively early variety that can also be sown later for early winter harvest. The plants produce a high yield of round, smooth, very dense sprouts that are well distributed along the stem. They have a good shelf life and taste aromatic and slightly sweet.
"A positive note from Belgium. Last year I bought Crispus Brussels sprout seeds from you and grew the sprout plants myself. Until then, I had always bought cultivated plants. These cultivated plants always gave the same poor result: rot from the inside of the fruit and especially a lot of problems with grey aphids, in short, we have always been able to eat too few home-grown sprouts. The result of the current harvest, however: no rot, few or no aphids and, above all, very tasty. In short, you sold me quality! Regards, T.G."

These seeds have been treated with Fludioxonil.

A little frost makes all Brussels sprouts varieties taste milder because starch in the sprout is converted into sugar. The sprouts can also be frozen to achieve a similar effect. They should then be blanched in boiling water for about three minutes before freezing. In this way, Mother Nature can be approximately copied to get that (even) milder taste.
