Prep Tip
Cook the stalks and florets together briefly by steaming or sautéing — broccolini's thin stalks cook through quickly, unlike standard broccoli.
Absorption Boost
Healthy fats — helps absorb the fat-soluble vitamin K
Garlic — a classic pairing that also adds complementary sulfur compounds
Use Caution If
You take warfarin or other blood thinners — keep intake consistent given the vitamin K content
You have hypothyroidism — contains goitrogens; cooking reduces this
Storage
Refrigerate unwashed in a perforated bag; use within about a week.
