The concept of TenderstemⓇ was originated in Japan, where using classical plant-breeding techniques, they crossed broccoli with Chinese kale to make the renowned TenderstemⓇ plant. TenderstemⓇ is great because it’s delicious from stem to floret so nothing needs to be thrown away. Flamingo is one of a limited amount of companies that have the license to grow and sell this named product into the UK market.
