BROCCOLETTI

BROCCOLETTI

(BRASSICA RUVO)

A variety of broccolini created by crossing broccoli with gai-lan (Chinese broccoli).

Bred for its ability to sprout an abundance of “mini broccoli stems” which can be harvested and enjoyed over a longer period than regular broccoli.

As an added bonus, every part of this delicious variety can be savoured; stems, leaves and flowers are all delectable!
