Broccolini®, also known as baby broccoli, is a popular new Brassica crop on the market. It is a hybrid of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) and gai lan (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) also known as Chinese broccoli, Chinese kale, or kailaan. This broccoli-gai lan hybrid has long tender stalks, small florets, and a subtle sweet flavor with a peppery kick. You will find it in supermarkets nationwide, and it is becoming increasingly popular with chefs who appreciate its more ‘refined’ taste as compared with its relatives, broccoli and broccoli raab. Due to its growing popularity, many growers have become interested in adding it as one of their crops.
