Vegetables
Refrigerator
Bimi® broccoli resembles broccoli, but with long slender stalks. The flavour is milder and sweeter, more along the lines of asparagus (hence the name). Bimi® broccoli is often promoted as a 'super vegetable' because it is high in vitamins and high in glucosinolates. Glucosinolates protect the plant from insects and larvae and humans from carcinogens.
