Broccolini

Broccolini is a tender hybrid of broccoli and Chinese broccoli (kai-lan) that appears in modern Western and Asian cooking as a quick-steaming or stir-fry vegetable; it’s prized for its thin stalks, small florets and mildly sweet, slightly peppery flavor. It’s commonly served simply steamed, sautéed with garlic, or grilled as a side or salad ingredient. Nutritionwise, Broccolini is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable and a very good source of vitamin C, providing 89.1mg per 100g; it also contributes fiber and plant protein while being very low in fat. From a health perspective, Broccolini offers appreciable fiber and high-quality plant protein for a vegetable, and—like other cruciferous vegetables—contains glucosinolate compounds that are associated with detoxifying and antioxidant effects.
