❓ FAQS
Tenderstem broccoli is a hybrid of Chinese kale and broccoli which was first introduced in Japan in 1993. Chinese kale is a leafy brassica with long stems that it lent to the broccoli, resulting in a broccoli floret with a long tender stem.
Tenderstem broccoli is high in vitamins A and C. It's also a good source of potassium and manganese.
