What is the Difference Between Broccoli and Broccolini?

The main difference between broccoli and broccolini is that broccoli has a larger stalk, while broccolini has smaller florets and a thinner stalk. They are both part of the cruciferous vegetable family, which also includes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts. Cruciferous vegetables are known for their high levels of antioxidants and cancer-fighting properties.

If you have not tried it, broccolini is a delicious and nutritious vegetable. It has a slightly sweet and peppery flavor and is packed with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and chromium. Broccolini is also a good source of fiber and protein.

Health Benefits of Broccolini

Some of the health benefits of broccolini include improved cardiovascular health, reduced inflammation, better digestive health, and cancer prevention. Broccolini is also low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a healthy choice for people looking to lose weight or manage their blood sugar levels.

Using Sesame Oil in Your Cooking

Sesame oil has a unique flavor and is often used in East Asian cuisine. Derived from sesame seeds, it has a nutty taste and a strong aroma. Some people also describe it as being peppery or smoky. In this simple recipe, the sesame oil really shines and sesame seeds add a nice crunch to the broccolini.

If you can’t find broccolini at your local store, you can substitute regular broccoli in this recipe. This is one of the easiest, most flavor-packed recipes ever – and I can’t forget to mention that Ben deserves 100% of the credit for this creation!
