Broccoli leaves
Broccoli leaves are broad edible foliage with prominent ribs and a leafy brassica flavour, commonly chopped for soups, stews or sautéed greens.
About Broccoli leaves
Broccoli leaves are the edible foliage of the broccoli plant, not the compact flowering head. They are green and broad, with a prominent rib; texture and tenderness vary with leaf size and maturity. Their taste is mild to moderately assertive, with a characteristic leafy brassica flavour.
The leaves are commonly chopped and cooked in soups, stews, or sautéed greens. Tender small leaves can be cooked briefly, whereas larger leaves are often stripped from their tougher ribs and cooked longer. Fresh whole leaves, trimmed leaves, and cooked portions are different forms and should not be treated as interchangeable in nutrition comparisons.
