Description
What's in a name? It's best to think of Broccoletti as a member of the "Sprouting Broccoli" family.
The entire vegetable (leaves, young stems, unopened flower shoots, and flowers) is consumable. Its flavor is sweet, with notes of both broccoli and asparagus although it is not closely related to the latter.
Broccoletti takes approximately 10-12 weeks to grow after being transplanted. It’s time to plant now. It is harvested when the heads are fully developed but are not flowering. By cutting off the head, the harvest time is extended by four weeks as new shoots of smaller heads will grow. Multiple picks extends production time.
Common cooking methods include sautéing, steaming, boiling, and stir frying. Still don’t think you can get the kids to eat it?? Add a bit of Teriyaki Sauce
