Organic rapini
Organic rapini (Brassica rapa subsp. ruvo), also known as broccoli rabe, is a leafy green with character that brings a rustic, productive, and deliciously Mediterranean touch to the vegetable garden. Highly prized for its young leaves, tender stems, and small floral buds, it offers a quick harvest that quickly rewards the attentive gardener. Its slightly bitter, deep, and vegetal flavor is wonderfully revealed steamed, sautéed with garlic, or incorporated into a host of savory dishes. In the garden, its dense foliage and vigorous growth quickly give a beautiful impression of abundance, especially in cooler seasons where it excels. If a few plants are allowed to continue their cycle, their yellow flowers attract pollinating insects and add an interesting ecological dimension to the vegetable garden. Easy to grow in fertile, well-drained soil, it loves full sun and regular watering which maintains its tenderness. It is also an ideal crop for gardeners who like to sow successively and harvest quickly, without sacrificing taste quality. Nutritious, decorative, and generous, rapini naturally finds its place in a lively, gourmet, and diversified garden.
