Uniform, well-graded broccoli looks great, displays well and sells at a premium. Consistent grading gives retail and food service buyers a dependable product and helps avoid costly claims.

Head size and weight

Broccoli is graded by head size and weight to match market classes - from smaller single-serve heads to larger crowns. Clear size grading lets buyers order exactly what their program needs.

Color and freshness

Deep green, tight florets indicate fresh, quality broccoli. Graders look for vivid color, firm heads and crisp stems, rejecting yellowing, opening florets or wilted product.

Fresh color signals peak eating quality.

Trim and condition

Heads are trimmed to clean stems with a neat cut, free from excess leaves, damage or decay. Careful trimming improves appearance and extends the product's usable life.

Packing and cold handling

Graded broccoli is packed promptly and moved into the cold chain to preserve freshness. Ice-packed or vented cartons keep heads crisp through transit to the market.
