CURRENTLY THE BEST ENGLISH SELECTION OF OUR RED BRUSSELS SPROUTS!
Red Brussels Sprouts came onto the market in the 1950s, developed by our company's founder: C.N. (Kees) Vreeken. It took him about 20 years to cross this special color into the well-known green Brussels sprouts. It was a funny and certainly remarkable breakthrough at the time, which caused quite a stir but did not become a market-leading product. "What the farmer doesn't know..." Meanwhile, this old 'Rubine' variety has remained popular in England for many years and (hooray!) modern selections are becoming available for gardeners and hobbyists.
'Ruby Crunch'F1 is currently the best performing cross/selection we know: high yield, beautiful and firm sprouts, good colorfastness after cooking! Red Brussels Sprouts have a fine aroma and an accessible taste, much more readily accepted by children…
