Gai Lan Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra)
This Chinese broccoli, also called Kai lan, is perfectly adapted to Quebec summers, and tolerates light frosts in the fall.
The great advantage of this vegetable compared to traditional broccoli is its ease of cultivation. Instead of waiting for it to form a ball like the latter, which sometimes never happens, we harvest small, thin and delicate broccoli throughout its flowering. It is extremely prolific, and its taste resembles broccoli with a touch of mustard.
