apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Spring brings us this special variety of broccoli raab. We discovered it today at the Greenmarket near the United Nations here in midtown Manhattan.

Yuno's Farms sells their over-wintered broccoli raab for $3 a bunch. The woman running the stand explained that these plants are in the ground all winter.

The snow and cold weather mellow this broccoli raab giving it a flavor the woman running Yuno's stand describes as "sweet" but still "very meaty."

It is only available for a couple weeks at the start of spring. They also sell the small small bright yellow flowers from this over-wintered broccoli raab. A fun way add a spark to a salad.

We can't wait to try it tonight.
