Rapini [rah-PEE-nee] or Broccoli Raab [rob]–
Commonly known in the United States as broccoli raab (also spelled broccoli rabe).
It is a common vegetable in Galician, Chinese, Italian, and Portuguese cuisine. The plant is a member of the Brassica family, a group of vegetables including cabbage, collards and Brussels sprouts that have gained recent widespread attention due to their health promoting, sulfur-containing phytonutrients.
Rapini has many spiked leaves that surround a green bud which looks very similar to a small head of broccoli. There may be small yellow flowers blooming from the buds, which are edible.
The flavor of rapini has been described as nutty, bitter, pungent, and “an acquired taste”. The Italian cultivar is similar to, but much more bitter than, the Chinese. However the Chinese cultivar is of a lighter green colour, not at all bitter or pungent, and more tender.
