Broccoli Broccoletti

Broccoletti, often referred to as “Broccolini,” resembles broccoli but boasts smaller florets and elongated, slender stalks. Every part of this vegetable, including the leaves, tender stems, and unopened flower shoots, is edible.

Its taste is a delightful fusion of sweetness, reminiscent of both broccoli and asparagus, despite its distant relation to the latter.

Popular culinary techniques for preparing Broccoletti encompass sautéing, steaming, boiling, and stir-frying.

Broccoletti is a cool season crop that is usually planted in autumn, depending on your climate.

Seeds can be sown indoors in late summer and transplanted in autumn. Seeds can also be direct sown in autumn.

If transplanting, plant out in the early morning or evening and/or on an overcast day. Avoid planting at peak sun times or on windy days, this will allow your plants to settle in comfortably and protect them from windburn and sunburn.
