Broccolini

Broccolini® is a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale (gai lan or kai-lan). It has smaller florets than broccoli and longer, thinner stalks.

Where are they grown

Broccolini® is grown Australia-wide.

How to pick

Look for Broccolini® heads or bunches that are bright or dark green in colour, with a springy, tight head and firm stems. The flowers should be in bud rather than full bloom.

How to store

Store Broccolini® loose in the crisper drawer of your fridge for up to one week.

How to use

Grill, steam or add Broccolini® to stir-fries. Since it’s entirely edible, simply rinse and enjoy.
