Chinese broccoli, also known as gai lan, is a leafy green vegetable featuring thick, flat, glossy blue-green leaves, and thick, firm stems. Offering a slightly bitter, earthy flavor with subtle hints of sweetness, chinese broccoli delivers a pleasant, robust taste profile. The texture of gai lan combines a tender leaf with a crisp, slightly crunchy stem, providing a satisfying bite. It's a versatile ingredient often used in stir-fries and steamed dishes.

Chinese broccoli is best stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. Wrap the unwashed stalks in a slightly damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag. This helps to retain moisture and prevent wilting. It's generally best to use Chinese broccoli within 3-5 days for optimal quality. Avoid washing before storing, as excess moisture can promote spoilage.
