Description
Broccoli Raab is an incredible green-budded variety of sprouting broccoli, which crops more heavily and much more quickly from seed to harvest than Purple Sprouting.
Hugely popular in the Mediterranean, this little known vegetable is eaten when the heads are young, looking a little like sprouting broccoli. The flavour is somewhere between that of broccoli and spinach, but with a lovely tangy mustard tone (that gives away its relation to the turnip!).
Sowing: Sow Cima di Rapa directly is usually sown March-June, and can also be sown October. Sow 1cm (1/2 “) deep into prepared soil. Avoid very hot or very cold weather.
