Broccolini

Broccolini, also known as baby broccoli, has longer, thinner stems and smaller, more delicate florets than traditional broccoli. It offers a milder, sweeter taste that sits somewhere between broccoli and green asparagus, making it a delightful addition to a variety of dishes. What’s more, broccolini is quick and easy to prepare—an ideal match for stir-fries.

Smart
tips

Store separately

Broccolini is sensitive to ethylene gas. Don’t store it next to ethylene-producing produce like apples, pears or tomatoes to prevent the florets from yellowing.

Presentation

Present the broccolini with the florets facing up and the stems pointing down.

Avoid discoloration

Avoid direct sunlight, as it speeds up discolouration.
