Heirloom | Non-GMO | Open-Pollinated | Asian Leafy Green

Bring the elegance of traditional Asian greens into your home garden with Huge Stem Gai Lan, a premium Chinese broccoli variety prized for its large, thick stems, tender leaves, and mild, rich flavor. Also known as Big Stem Kai Lan, Chinese Kale, Chinese Broccoli, or Cải Rổ, this variety is a favorite in Vietnamese, Chinese, and Asian home cooking.

Unlike regular leafy greens, Gai Lan offers both flavorful leaves and crisp edible stems, making it excellent for stir-fries, steaming, soups, garlic dishes, noodles, hot pot, and dim sum-style cooking. Harvest young stems and leaves when tender for the best texture and flavor.
