there’s so much wild shit out there like, they got a cross between brussel sprouts and kale now, it grows little kale nuggets, it’s weird
Im a huge fan of broccolini except idfk what to call it because that’s apparently a trade mark of the Del Monte corporation and other places call it “sweet baby broccoli” but that’s INACCURATE because it ISN’T BABY BROCCOLI it’s actually a cross between BROCCOLI and GAI LAN which yields the succulent floral broccoli tops combined with the crisp crunchy asparagus like stalk of the gai lan and altogether a super premium ultra vegetable. I love that shit
If you want broccolini tips i’ve been tossing it in a light lemon garlic vinaigrette and then throwing it on the char grill until it’s charred and people go omg your broccolini, it is a so amazing
Anyway what are some other good weird brassicas y’all enjoy
Hell yeah they’re like peppery and horseradishy
Turnip greens are NOT though, worst green
Id put kale up (down?) there. Not my favourite.
How dare you. Kale is like 80% of my green stuff consumption in winter.
Turnip greens are so fucking bitter, christ, i blanched them to drain bitter compounds and then cooked them how i do collard greens and they were fuckin nasty
They were good when i did sarson ka saag but that’s only because it was 25% turnip greens, 50% kale and 25% spinach
Kale is good especially tossed in a little lemon and garlic and oil and roasted quick and hot
