Some excellent spring growing conditions means strong broccolini supply in the markets this week. Authentic broccolini is a combination of broccoli and gai lan. The best way to determine if it’s the real deal or an imitation is in the eating of the stem - authentic broccolini has a sweet stem and the entire product is perfectly edible. Imitation products often have stalks that are bitter and not pleasant to eat. Gaining popularity every year, broccolini is on special in our stores this week at fantastic prices.
