About

The purple cultivar, known as Violetta d'Albenga, was originally produced in the region around Albenga, Italy. It remains purple with quick cooking, such as brisk sautéing, but turns green with longer cooking. This variety has four times the sugar and is much more tender than its green sister. The bigger stalks are the best ones.
