🥦 Broccoli

Broccoli is a vegetable crop introduced in Stardew Valley 1.6. It grows from Broccoli Seeds in the Fall season, taking 8 days to mature. Broccoli sells for a base price of 130g and can be used in cooking, gifting, and processing into artisan goods. It is one of the newer additions to the crop lineup, expanding farming options in late-game farms.

Broccoli restores a fair amount of energy and health, making it useful for both profit and stamina management during farming or mining sessions.

🌱 Growing

Broccoli Seeds can be purchased from Pierre’s General Store in Fall for 60g each. They require 8 days to mature and do not regrow after harvest. Like other crops, Broccoli can also be grown in the Greenhouse or Garden Pots for year-round farming.
