Broccoli

Issue 001 · published Sunday 7 Jun 2026 · prices measured Friday 5 Jun 2026

A side-dish staple that swings hard with the seasons. We pick the cheapest valid pack at each supermarket — sometimes that's the fresh head labelled NZ-grown, sometimes it's a frozen bag without the marker. The NZ-made breakdown below shows the split.
