Robust Flavor and Nutrition:
San Marzano Broccoli Raab is known for its slightly bitter, mustard-forward flavor that sets it apart from standard broccoli, broccolini, or Chinese broccoli. The tender greens and small florets are typically enjoyed cooked and are especially popular sautéed or stir-fried with garlic and olive oil. This nutrient-dense vegetable is a staple in Italian cuisine and a valuable addition to any edible garden.
How to Grow San Marzano Broccoli Raab (Brassica rapa):
Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, or start indoors for transplanting. Plant in full sun with well-draining soil. Space plants to allow airflow and harvest when florets begin to form but before flowers open. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. Plants are tolerant of mild drought but benefit from consistent moisture for best yields.
