Can anyone describe the taste? The varieties I've seen on seed websites look sort of like young broccoli leaves. I love the taste of tender broccoli leaves. If Chinese Kale is anything like that, I think I'll give it a try in the garden. If anyone has a favorite variety, I'd love recommendations, too.

Did you search the forum first? There are nearly a dozen existing threads on this topic already. Please continue this discussion in one of the following threads... (and yes, you'll definitely want to try it.)

If you love broccoli, you will absolutely love gai lan. Its heads are insignificant. It is grown for the stems, which are about pencil thick or a little more. When steamed and dressed with a little oyster sauce, they are brilliant green, tender and very tasty. They look especially nice when presented by stacking them like a pile of logs, then cutting the pile at two inch intervals.
