Brassica rapa
Organic Rapini Broccoli Raab is a prized broccoli relative with graceful, loose buds, rather than one central bud crown, scattered among tender, tasty leaves. The early first harvest (45 days) will promote further branching for a heavy secondary harvest. The leaves, buds and stems are used for blanching or sauteing. The rich, wild flavor is delightful with olive oil and lemon. This is a wonderfully tasty and highly nutritious heirloom microgreen. Plant in shallow saucers for winter microgreens and harvest by snipping off tender young shoots close to leaves with scissors. The young shoots are colorful and are tender and sweet.
A member of the Brassica family (mustard family), broccoli grows well with basil, beans, cucumbers, dill, garlic, hyssop, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, potato, radish, rosemary, thyme, sage and tomatoes. Broccoli dislikes grapes and rue.
