Cima Di Rapa ‘San Marzano’ (60 days)

Unknown in the UK but easy to grow and loved on the continent. We introduced this in 2003 and it was a huge success. Everyone seemed to like it!

Also known as Raab, it’s related to turnip – but produces delicious sprouts like a slightly spicy flavoured sprouting broccoli.

Quick growing plants that reach about 1 ft tall, making small green sprouts used just like sprouting broccoli – but much quicker and easier to grow.  Sow early spring under cover, or mid to late summer for harvest in 50-60 days.

Quick ‘broccoli’ from the Turnip family. Nice raw in salads or cooked.
