Bring a gourmet Italian green to your garden with our Rapini, or Broccoli Raab, seeds. This fast-growing heirloom is not a true broccoli, but a related brassica prized by chefs for its unique and delicious flavor. It produces tender stalks, flavorful leaves, and small, broccoli-like florets, all of which are edible. With a pleasantly bitter, nutty, and complex taste, it's a perfect choice for sautéing with garlic and olive oil. As a cool-weather crop, it's ideal for early spring and fall gardens.
