There is a good reason the Europeans love rapini the tender stems, buds, flowers and leaves have a wonderfully delicate and slightly bitter, peppery broccoli flavor, that can be enjoyed in salads, stir-fries or steamed. Budding florets should be harvested just before the flowers open for best flavor. Known in Italy as "broccoletti".
