The delicious leaves are the reason to grow this plant in your garden (not the little broccoli tops). The leaves are mild when cooked with a wonderful, slight taste of broccoli. |

The taste is not much of a broccoli flavor ... more like the stems from a ‘green’. The Plant grew well, even through the heat of Summer. However, this doesn't rank as one of my favorite vegetables. |
