About Broccoli raab
Broccoli raab, also called rapini, is a leafy vegetable with slender stems, leaves, and small broccoli-like buds. The buds do not form a dense head. Its leaves and stems are green, and its flavour is notably bitter and pungent compared with headed broccoli; the buds, leaves, and tender stems are all commonly eaten.
It is usually cooked, often by sautéing, steaming, or blanching, with thicker stems needing more time than tender leaves and buds. It is sold fresh in bunches and used whole or chopped. Broccoli raab is a distinct vegetable, not simply broccoli florets or broccoli leaves.
