Traditional variety with smaller, more flavourful buttons. Sweetens dramatically after frost.
Flavour
Groninger sprouts have a rich, nutty flavour that intensifies and sweetens significantly after exposure to frost, making them less bitter than typical varieties.
In the kitchen
Ideal for slow roasting or grilling over fire, Groninger sprouts caramelise beautifully, developing a smoky sweetness that complements robust BBQ flavours.
Growing
This traditional variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture; it benefits from a long growing season and is best sown in early spring for an autumn to winter harvest.
