Broccoli Rabe

Broccoli Rabe is a leafy crucifer commonly used in Italian and Mediterranean cooking (also sold as Rapini or Cime di Rapa). It’s known for its slightly bitter, earthy flavor and is often sautéed with garlic and olive oil or added to pasta and soups. Nutritionally Broccoli Rabe is low in calories while supplying a useful amount of fiber (2.7g per 100g) and plant protein; it is also a good source of vitamin K and vitamin C and provides folate. Its bitter greens are high in water and low in fat, making it a nutrient-dense choice for adding volume and micronutrients to meals. Broccoli Rabe contains glucosinolates and other phytonutrients typical of cruciferous vegetables, which contribute antioxidant and detoxifying actions, and its overall profile makes it a very healthful leafy green to include regularly in a balanced diet.
