Broccoli, Rapini Broccoli Raab Seeds – Organic, Heirloom

1.150 KD

There is a good reason the Europeans love Rapini; the tender stems, buds, flowers, and leaves have a wonderfully delicate and slightly bitter, peppery broccoli flavor, that can be enjoyed in salads, stir-fries, or steamed. Budding florets should be harvested just before the flowers open for best flavor. Known in Italy as “broccoletti”.

Expect a second, and possible third flush of tender florets over 2 to 4 weeks.
