they are kinda pricy, like $2.50 a bunch if not on sale, they taste like chinese broccoli, because its cross between chinese and regular broccoli. unlike chinese broccoli, which can be too hard and need to cook for a long time sometimes, these are SO tender and crunchy. yum yum!

I am gonna look into that.....

 

[richardycc]

this is what they look like: Broccolini

Cool. Gotta try that.

Chinese broccoli the best? Hmm...all depends on how it is prepared. Hypothetically, if both types are prepared equally well, they're both good stuff. BTW, Oyster sauce on regular broccoli is pretty good too.

I'm Chinese and I like American Broccoli better.

Its good, but in a different way. I wuldnt eat it all the time,just as I wouldnt with anyone else. Put an option in poll saying equally good. I would have voted that.

 

[GoSharks]

boil, then oyster sauce on top >*

 

[igowerf]

Chinese broccolli makes me gag. I <3 American broccolli though.

I have no idea where it comes from, but I like Broccoli.. maybe I will look for this chinese stuff!

 

[SuepaFly]

Taro is

Yu nai or Yu Tou.

Should be Cantonese for "carrot". Maybe my parents were wrong.
