'Spring' Broccoli Raab

Sub-Category:	None

Sub-Category 2:
Description:	Plants grow up to 30 inches tall and prefer a warm, long-day season. Green shoots mature very quickly. Overwinters in mild climates. Also known as 'Spring Raab'. For the sake of advancing the popularity of this gourmet green, it was dubbed Broccoli Raab, even though it's technically a tasty turnip top. Today, many gardeners expect this cool weather plant to produce a broccoli-like head. The small florets are edible, but in Asian and Italian cuisine the whole stem with leaves is used and valued for its bright, sharp broccoli-like flavor. For a great homemade pizza topping, sauté the Raab stems with minced garlic.
Days To Maturity:	42-50
Seed Sources:	Hudson Valley Seed Co - updated in 2025
