Broccoli Raab Rapini

Brassica rapa Rapini

Broccoli Raab, also known as Rapini, is a fast-growing leafy green vegetable with small broccoli-like buds and tender stems. Although it shares its name with broccoli, rapini is more closely related to turnips. Popular in Mediterranean cuisine, this cool-season crop has a slightly bitter, nutty flavor and is rich in vitamins A, C, and K. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, Broccoli Raab matures quickly, making it an excellent choice for successive planting and continuous harvests.

How to Germinate Broccoli Raab Rapini

How to Germinate Broccoli Raab Rapini (Brassica rapa Rapini)

  • Sow Broccoli Raab seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth.
  • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil.
  • Keep the soil moist during the germination period, which typically takes 5-10 days.
  • Space seedlings 4-6 inches apart once they have developed a few sets of true leaves.
  • Broccoli Raab can also be grown indoors and transplanted outside once the danger of frost has passed.

Additional Tips

  • Broccoli Raab prefers cool weather; plant in early spring or late summer to avoid bolting in hot conditions.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist to encourage tender growth.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to promote vigorous growth and healthy leaves.
  • Harvest when the flower buds are well-formed but have not yet opened for the best flavor.
