Especially for spring and summer harvest, and overwintering in mild climates. Big plant, relatively late maturity. Broccoli raab has many spiked leaves that surround clusters of green buds that resemble small heads of broccoli, but have nutty, bitter, and pungent flavor. Enjoy it lightly sautéed with garlic and olive oil, fresh in salads and cooked in soups. Small, edible yellow flowers may be blooming among the buds. Is a source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium, calcium, and iron. Also known as Rapini, Broccoletti, Broccoletto, Broccoli di Rape, Cime di Rapa, Rappi and in Naples, Friariell.
