Broccolini!

Today, I went grocery shopping at Earthfare all by myself and I only almost ran into one person and only missed my exit twice, so I'd say I had a pretty successful trip.

Adding to the successfulness, as I was searching through all the fresh produce and nearly suffered a heart attack from getting rained on by the little misting thingys that keep the veggies fresh, I came across broccolini! 

Broccolini is a hybrid veggie, it's a cross between broccoli and kai-lan (Chinese broccoli). Broccolini is high in vitamin C and also contains vitamin A, folate, calcium, and iron. 

Tastes pretty darn good, too, so if you ever see it on a menu or in the produce isle I highly recommend giving it a try.
