Broccolini

Brief Description

Broccolini is a hybrid vegetable, a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli (kai-lan). It features long, slender stalks topped with small florets, and has a milder, sweeter flavor than traditional broccoli.

Care Instructions

Broccolini prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It requires regular watering and benefits from fertilization during the growing season. Harvest when the florets are still tight for the best flavor.

Medicinal Value

Rich in vitamins C and K, folate, and antioxidants, broccolini may help support immune health, promote heart health, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
