With its small florets and long, slender green stems, Woolworths Tenderstem® broccoli is the kind of vegetable that makes you stop mid-shop, toss it into your basket and wonder why you haven't been buying it all along.

A hybrid of Chinese kale (gai lan) and traditional broccoli, its mild, sweet, nutty flavour and tender texture runs from stem to floret, so there’s really no waste – you’ll want to eat the whole thing.

Best enjoyed steamed, roasted or even eaten raw, it's as versatile as it is beautiful on the plate. We've done the hard work for you and incorporated it into two delicious recipes that are guaranteed to make Tenderstem® broccoli your new veggie staple.

Tenderstem® broccoli korma

This quick broccoli curry is about to become your favourite weekly vegetarian meal. Readymade korma sauce adds a delicious nutty flavour, while coconut milk enhances the creaminess. Include chunks of paneer for added protein and heartiness.
