Kailan

Reminds of broccoli

Kailan - Product photo

One of the lesser-known leafy greens in Korean, Chinese and Thai cuisine is kailan. This vegetable may be relatively unknown, but its flavour is very recognisable. What you taste is broccoli, but with a hint of bitterness. This is why thick green stems with leaves on them are also called 'Chinese broccoli'.

The crop also produces flowers, which are edible. The glossy leaves have a blue-green hue.
