This super fast broccoli raab produces many small broccolis in just 40 days - faster than any other broccoli! Also known as Rapini, this heritage Italian variety produces an abundance of succulent broccoli florets and is often used in the traditional pasta dish 'Orecchiette e Cima di Rapa' from Puglia. Related to Mizuna mustard and napa cabbage, this rustic and heritage turnip-relative has a hint of mustard flavor and is a one of the fastest ways to produce nutrient rich greens in your garden. You can eat the flowering stems and leaves.

Super easy to grow. Sow between March and September for harvests from late spring through mid-fall harvest. (AKA "Quarantina Cima Di Rapa", "Spring Raab", "Rapini") 

40 days to maturity.
