A protective cover for disposition over the crown of a single broccoli plant or the crown of a "bunch" (two or more of such plants) in order to maintain the freshness of the broccoli, potentially increase shelf life and to protect against contamination. The protective cover comprises a relatively thin cover film which is sized and shaped to form an internal compartment for receiving the crowns of the broccoli. A stretchable band surrounds an opening leading into the interior compartment and which allows the opening to expand sufficiently to extend over the crowns without damaging the same and to thereafter contract about the stem of the broccoli. Apertures are formed in the cover film in order to allow an outgasing of any gas and preclude any moisture condensation on the inside of the cover which should otherwise impair viewing of the broccoli plant.
Pellicule de protection servant à recouvrir la pomme d'un plan de brocoli unique ou les pommes de plans multiples dans le but de conserver la fraîcheur du produit, possiblement augmenter sa conservabilité à l'étalage et le protéger contre toute contamination. Il s'agit d'une pellicule relativement mince, façonnée en forme de compartiment permettant de recevoir la pomme d'un brocoli. Une bande élastique entoure l'ouverture du compartiment et permet à cette dernière de s'agrandir suffisamment pour laisser passer la pomme sans l'endommager, pour ensuite se refermer autour de la tige du plan. La pellicule comporte des ouvertures servant à permettre l'échappement des gaz susceptibles de se former et à prévenir la formation de condensation sur sa paroi intérieure, qui pourrait empêcher de bien voir le produit.
