Raab is technically not broccoli - it is actually more closely related to mustard greens or turnips, which is where its stronger flavor comes from. It offers the advantages of quicker maturity, a longer harvest window, and somewhat more disease resistance than broccoli. If rapini’s pungent flavor isn’t your thing, blanching the shoots in boiling water or cooking with an acid such as lemon juice or balsamic vinegar will cut down the bitter tones. Raab originated in Italy, and is a common and much-loved vegetable throughout Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1.75 gram packet contains a minimum of 300 seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"- Broccoli Raab -","offers":[{"title":"Min. 300 seeds","offer_id":50541576847529,"sku":"114-003-1-G","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2550\/8730\/products\/Broccoli-Raab_Spring-Rapini-2_logo.jpg?v=1751486866"},{"product_id":"broccoli-di-ciccio-organic","title":"Broccoli Seeds - Di Ciccio, ORGANIC","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHEIRLOOM. You won’t find this beloved old Italian variety in the produce section of your supermarket, which makes it even more exciting to grow at home! Compact, 2 to 3-foot tall plants will produce a relatively small main head, which should be harvested at 3 to 4 inches diameter. Once the main head has been cut, the plants will continually produce side shoots until the weather gets too hot, or frost arrives. Note: over the many years since this variety’s introduction in 1890, the spelling of the name seems to have gotten a little confused - we’ve seen it spelled di Cicco, de Cecco, Dececco, and several versions in between.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1.75 gram packet contains a minimum of 300 seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"- Broccoli -","offers":[{"title":"Min. 300 seeds","offer_id":50541563609257,"sku":"019-001-1-G","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2550\/8730\/products\/Broccoli_DiCiccio_on-plant_logo.jpg?v=1751474427"},{"product_id":"broccoli-green-sprouting-calabrese","title":"Broccoli Seeds - Green Sprouting Calabrese","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHEIRLOOM.

Uniform plants produce a 3 to 8 inch wide central head, then abundant side shoots after the main head is harvested.
