Are you ready to meet your new favorite green vegetable?

Roasted broccolini is especially tasty with its companions of fresh garlic, blistered grape tomatoes, and a Sherry vinaigrette in this dish.
A Peek Into Broccolini’s History
Despite often being labeled baby broccoli, it is not baby broccoli.
Broccolini is a cross between Chinese broccoli and regular broccoli – yes, the kind that most people love to hate.
It was bred by a Japanese company in 1993 to create a vegetable that featured the tender stalks of Chinese broccoli along with the more familiar florets of traditional broccoli.
Broccolini has a sweet, mild flavor and a crisp texture, which is the best characteristics of both source plants.
And broccolini is not a GMO, or genetically modified organism.
It was developed through traditional plant breeding techniques that naturally combine the desired characteristics of each parent plant.
Nutrition Packed in Every Bite of Roasted Broccolini
Why should broccolini be on your shopping list and dinner plate?
This green gem is packed with a powerhouse of nutrients. Broccolini is rich in vitamins C and A, calcium, folate, iron, and is also a fantastic source of fiber.
It’s a champion for your bones, blood, and beyond with compounds that are believed to pack anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting properties.
Low in calories but high in possibilities, broccolini is a superhero of the vegetable world, ready to keep you healthy while pleasing your palate.
Culinary Versatility
Broccolini is a versatile vegetable.
The stems, leaves, and florets are all edible, and they are tender enough to be enjoyed raw.
