Brompton Stock

Information on Brompton Stock

Alchimia presents Brompton Stock seeds by Rocalba, an edible flowering plant native to the Mediterranean area, South Africa and Central Asia. This flower was considered a great treasure during the Arabian period in the Iberian Peninsula, where it gets its name from the Arabic al-jayri, meaning "The best of".

Brompton Stock flavour is hard to find among edible flowers. It is a very aromatic plant with a spicy mustard-like taste and is often used in sweet desserts and light sandwiches.

For its consumption, the flowers must be washed by immersing them in a bowl of water and then gently drying them.

It is a wild herbaceous plant and does not require a great deal of water, quite the contrary. If planted in dry or semi-wet soil, it will promote the correct development. It is very important to plant it in a sunny area to ensure maximum direct sunlight.
