About Broccoli Rabe
Broccoli Rabe (pronounced Broccoli Rob) is also referred to as rabe or
rapini. This is another leafy green vegetable that is frequently
eaten in Southern Italy and has become popular in the United States.
The vegetable has a slightly bitter taste and is frequently steamed or
lightly sauteed in olive oil.

The Broccoli Rabe flower looks similar to the broccoli florets.
Despite the name this plant is not a type of broccoli but it is in the
same brassica family. One of the many health benefits of this
vegetable is that it is rich in certain phytochemicals, including
sulforaphane and indoles. These are chemicals which are proving to
protect us against cancer.


Well, Thanks for the info......I have never seen anything like that here in
Sydney Oz.....Have seen different variety of Broccoli, but never one as you
have described though !.....I will ask about it at some of the Vegi Shops
here !
