Broccolini is a hybrid vegetable that combines broccoli and Chinese broccoli (gai lan). It has long, slender stalks and small, delicate florets, resembling a miniature version of broccoli with a more tender and refined appearance. The flavor of broccolini is milder and slightly sweeter than broccoli, with a subtle peppery note. Both the stalks and florets are edible, making it versatile for cooking. Broccolini is often sautéed, steamed, grilled, or roasted and pairs well with a variety of seasonings and sauces.
