Facts: Broccolini is actually a crossbreed of broccoli and Chinese broccoli, a leafy vegetable commonly referred to as gai lan in Cantonese or jie lan in Mandarin. You get the florets found in broccoli and the longer stems and leaves found in Chinese broccoli. It’s a pretty logical mix of the two.

And when it comes to flavor, broccolini also lands somewhere in the middle. It's mellower and less bitter than standard-issue broccoli, with a mild sweetness much more akin to Chinese broccoli. But our favorite part of broccolini is its texture. The long stems have a pleasant crunch, and the ratio of stem to leaf to bud is pretty perfect, if you ask us.

Fun Fact: Baby broccoli is a great source of vitamins A, C and K and is a good source of folate, B-complex vitamins, iron and manganese. It is also a source of potassium, fiber, protein and calcium, copper, selenium, magnesium, and trace amounts of zinc and sodium.
