baby broccoli

Miniature green stalks

Baby broccoli is a hybrid vegetable crossing broccoli with Chinese kale, producing long thin stems topped with small florets.

It's more tender and sweeter than regular broccoli, with entirely edible stalks.

Also called broccolini: Sauté the baby broccoli with garlic and olive oil.
