Call it what you will, this brassica family member is a true cross-over between rapini, kale and broccoli. While it most closely resembles broccoli, its florets are smaller, stems longer, and its leaves are wider.
Although it is common in Asian markets, gai lohn is fairly new to the rest of us, albeit not entirely foreign in appearance.
It is easy to prepare and may be stir-fried, steamed, or prepared any way in which you might make rapini, broccoli or kale.
"Happy Rich" is the variety we are growing this year at The Dahlia Farm, and if you are a CSA shareholder, you should be seeing yours within the next few weeks. (Provided our woodchuck doesn't return...)
