broccoli raab

With all the warm weather lately, our broccoli raab has really taken off. We're in love with the stuff. Rebecca picks the florets off and eats them as fast as she picks 'em. The leaves are great in our salads, the stalks are like really tender asparagus shoots, and the florets are like, well, broccoli. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, B2, K, and phosphorus, as well as calcium and iron. They're a good source of protein, fiber, and pholate. They are more closely related to turnips than broccoli. Umm, and they're scrumptous.
