The gourmet treat that's both nutritious and delicious, Broccoli Raab (also called Rapa, Rabe, or Rapini) is now available in Certified Organic seed form! You will love growing this easy and quick crop, which sets abundant crisp, bright green, upright leaves to be harvested just before their florets open.
Broccoli Raab isn't actually related to broccoli (it's in the Turnip family), but the florets it sets will remind you of broccoli, which is how it comes by its common name. Rich in Vitamins A, C, and K, they are also loaded with potassium, calcium, and iron. The flavor is both nutty and somewhat bitter, with a pungent bite. Steamed or sauteed, this is a gourmand's delight!
Our seed is Certified Organic by Clemson University DPI according to NOP standards. You will find it fresh and ready to take off. Harvest the leaves when they are between 10 and 15 inches high for best flavor. Enjoy one of the finest and most healthful veggies straight from your own backyard this season with Organic Broccoli Raab! Packet is 100 seeds.
