Frequently Asked Questions About Bimi broccoli
What is Bimi broccoli?
Bimi broccoli is a tender-stemmed vegetable developed by crossing broccoli with Chinese kale. It has small florets and long, slender stems that are usually tender enough to eat without peeling.
Is Bimi broccoli the same as broccolini?
They are closely related and can look very similar, but Bimi is a specific branded type of tender-stemmed broccoli. Broccolini is often used as a general name for similar vegetables, so the names do not always identify exactly the same product.
How do you cook Bimi broccoli?
Bimi broccoli cooks well in a hot pan, steamer, oven, or on a grill. Toss it with a little oil and seasonings, and check it often: its slender stems cook faster than thick broccoli stalks and are best when still slightly firm.
Can you eat Bimi broccoli raw?
Yes, Bimi broccoli can be eaten raw. Rinse and dry it well, then slice the stems thinly to make them easier to chew. Its raw texture is firmer than when cooked, so it works particularly well chopped into salads or served with a dip.
Do you eat the stems of Bimi broccoli?
Yes, the stems of Bimi broccoli are edible and are usually tender enough to eat without peeling. Trim off any dry or tough ends, then cook the stems and florets together; split an unusually thick stem lengthwise so it cooks evenly.
How do you roast Bimi broccoli?
To roast Bimi broccoli, coat the washed and dried stems lightly with oil, spread them in a single layer, and roast until the florets are browned and the stems are tender. Give the pan room so the vegetables roast instead of steaming.
What does Bimi broccoli taste like?
Bimi broccoli has a mild, fresh, slightly sweet taste with a gentle cabbage-like note. Its tender stems are less tough than those of mature broccoli, and its small florets become pleasantly browned and more savory when roasted or grilled.
How should you store Bimi broccoli?
Keep Bimi broccoli unwashed and dry in the refrigerator, loosely wrapped or in a produce bag. Excess moisture can speed spoilage, so wash it just before cooking; if you have already rinsed it, dry it thoroughly before putting it away.
Can you freeze Bimi broccoli?
Yes, Bimi broccoli can be frozen, although it may be softer after thawing. Blanch it briefly, cool it promptly in cold water, drain it very well, and pack it in an airtight freezer container. Use the frozen stems in cooked dishes.
Do you need to peel Bimi broccoli before cooking it?
No, Bimi broccoli usually does not need peeling because its slim stems are tender. Rinse it, trim only the dry ends, and leave the rest intact. If a stem is noticeably thick or fibrous, peel or split just that portion.

What is Bimi broccoli?
Bimi broccoli is a tender-stemmed vegetable bred from broccoli and Chinese kale. Its small florets and long, slender stems are both eaten, and the stems are usually tender enough to cook without peeling. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a crisp texture when briefly cooked.
In the UK, where it is often sold as tenderstem broccoli, it is commonly steamed, roasted or stir-fried as a quick side; elsewhere, it works just as well in pasta, grain bowls and salads. Bimi broccoli provides fibre, vitamin C and folate, while remaining relatively low in calories. Cook it briefly to keep the stems lively, and pair it with lemon, garlic or a simple olive-oil dressing.
