Why This one

a few words from me

The vegetable, often called baby broccoli, isn’t just immature broccoli — instead it’s a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese broccoli. While the vegetable was only introduced in the early ’90s, it’s pretty easy to find it in most grocery stores these days. Served together with tortellini or pasta it is delicious
