With its cabbage-like flavor and satisfying crunch, we think of broccoli as one of the ultimate vegetables. It's nutritious, low in calories, available year-round and hearty. Steam it, stir-fry it, sauté it, or eat raw in salads or with dips.
A vegetable that's as meaty as a potato but has its own very mild, nutty, cabbage-like flavor. A close relative of broccoli, cauliflower is a bit sweeter and even heartier. We love this versatile vegetable because it absorbs the full flavor of spices.
Broccoli rabe's flavor-stimulating bitterness tastes like a cross between turnips and kale. It looks like a thinner, leafier version of broccoli. Both the leaves and the florets are edible. One of the most full-flavored greens. Serve with creamy cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, or spicy sausage.
