Everwilde Farms - 500 Early Fall Rapini Broccoli Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

An Italian specialty vegetable used in salads and light cooking, Early Fall Rapini produces good yields of broccoli raab with zesty, mustard-like flavor! This early bolting variety produces tender turnip-like leafy flower shoots that are harvested and bunched just as the first flowers begin to open. Historians say that this vegetable comes from ancient China, where it grew wild and was used as an herb. In spite of its appearance and it's common name of "broccoli raab," this vegetable is no relation of broccoli; rather, it comes from the turnip family. Traditional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine often include rapini.
